AN INVESTMENT of £85,000 has been pumped into a treatment centre which was forced to dump sewage into the sea off Littlehampton’s award-winning beach last year.

In August, an emergency situation arose at the Southern Water pumping station, in Sea Road.

A fault at the facility threatened to back up the town’s sewer system and cause flooding to a number of residents.
