A councillor defends a seaside town's water after it appears on a most-polluted list.
But Mr Mellors said the report included all sewage spills in the River Clwyd catchment area, including those further upstream, which tended to have less impact in Rhyl itself due to bacteria decaying as it travelled.
However, he acknowledged: "It is true that Rhyl can be impacted by storm overflows in very wet weather. "The sewers are designed to overflow to protect property and this can result in elevated bacteria levels in bathing water in Rhyl. "NRW inform our public protection team when there are any sewage discharge incidents and our team communicate with the harbour master and Denbighshire Leisure Ltd to ensure that suitable signage is displayed during such conditions to warn the general public of poor quality."
