Liberal Democrats We must get tougher on polluting water companies








John, water companies continue to get away with dumping filthy sewage into our
rivers, lakes and seas.

Shockingly, our Freedom of Information request

reveals Ofwat, the regulator, hasn't fined any of them since 2021 - and their
investigation team is just over 8 full-time staff!

After years of Conservative inaction, we need urgent steps to fix this.

Since 2021, £35 million in bonuses have been awarded to water company bosses
while they fail customers and continue to dump sewage. While executives line
their pockets, the public pays the price for their failures.

This week, we tabled an amendment to the Water Bill to outlaw these bonuses
until sewage spills end and leaks are fixed.

Under our plan, Ofwat would be replaced by a Clean Water Authority - one with
real power to monitor and stop sewage dumping - and water companies would
become not-for-profit public benefit entities.
