Sewage was discharged into Bradford Beck in 2018 and may have affected wildlife, a court hears.
An investigation found water quality looked different downstream of the Yorkshire Water tank on George Street
At Leeds Magistrates' Court, the firm pleaded guilty to the discharges and to breaching its environmental permit. An investigation revealed one or both of the two pumps which emptied the tank were not working at various times between August 2017 and September 2018. However, it had failed to fix the pumps as soon as was practical, or to provide a stand-by pump, or to maintain its pumps and to maintain the overflow.
District Judge Richard Kitson found that Yorkshire Water was "reckless" in its offending due to the fact the firm was taking some steps to deal with the issue, but not with sufficient urgency.
