Glastonbury Festival is just around the corner, and people across the UK will be busy packing and preparing for the big event.
Festival-goers will be relieved to see Glastonbury back this summer following its fallow year in 2018 - but now they’ve been warned that this year could be the end.
Glastonbury festival announced via it’s website this week that the festival could be in danger of being closed down if guests continue to urinate on the site.
The site revealed “It really could be the end of Glastonbury if you pee where you shouldn’t”.
The full statement read: “Peeing on the ground causes toxic pollution of the water table.
“The groundwater runs into the central Whitelake River and down the valley for miles around. Wildlife and fish are affected if 200,000 people pee everywhere.
The Environment Agency tests the water regularly, and has the power to close down the site if too many people have urinated and polluted the site.
“It really could be the end of Glastonbury if you pee where you shouldn’t.
“Please only pee in our thousands of toilets and urinals.”
Glastonbury urged festival goers to use the compost toilets available throughout the site, revealing that after a year it “turns into wonderful compost which is brought back onto the farm and used in the Permaculture area and Peace garden”.
During the festival, environmental health students check the toilets twice a day, while cleaners and other staff are on hand to help keep them functional.
