Liberal Democrats It’s time to take the sewage scandal seriously




<[link removed]>




John, for years water companies have dumped filthy sewage into our rivers,
lakes, and seas, damaging the environment, destroying wildlife, and making
swimmers sick.

Today, our analysis
<[link removed]>
found that one sewage spill from South West Water lasted 366 days last year!
That’s up from 201 days the previous year.

Despite this, water companies paid over £20 million to executives last year
in basic pay, pension contributions, and bonuses.

While customers face spiralling bills, water companies are lining their own
pockets and harming the environment. This is a national scandal that should
have been addressed years ago.

For years, the Conservatives neglected the sewage crisis; both in Westminster
and in local government. They allowed water companies to dump filthy sewage
almost with impunity.

Now it’s the same old story under Labour - they’ve failed to take any
meaningful action to end the scandal.

It’s clear that only the Liberal Democrats are taking this issue seriously.

We must immediately ban bonuses for polluting water company bosses and
replace the weak, ineffective water regulator Ofwat with a new Clean Water
Authority with real power to hold water companies accountable.

Our proposals would give this new authority the power to conduct unannounced
inspections, set binding targets to prevent sewage discharges, and revoke
licences of poorly performing companies swiftly.
