Liberal Democrats Ofwat to be scrapped…finally!
Dear John,
After years of Liberal Democrat pressure, the Government has finally listened,
announcing that the weak water regulator Ofwat will be scrapped.
And it’s about time!
Only last week, another dramatic surge in sewage spills was revealed - the
number of the most serious water pollution incidents went up by60% last year

.
The entire system is broken. Water companies are getting away with polluting
our rivers on an industrial scale and face little more than a slap on the
wrist. They pay out millions in dividends and bonuses, while YOU face higher
bills.
That’s why, since November 2022, we Liberal Democrats have been calling on
the Government to scrap Ofwat and replace it with anew, effective regulator
<[link removed]>, with real
power to hold water companies to account.
When we first brought up the sewage scandal, the Conservatives and Labour
sneered at us for promoting what they saw as a trivial issue. Now the
Government has finally listened to our campaign and acknowledged the public
anger behind it.
Please share our win with your friends and family so they can see the change
the Liberal Democrats are delivering:

While scrapping Ofwat is a big step in the right direction, we’ll continue to
pressure the Government togo much further to end the crisis once and for all.
The Government wants to halve the number of times sewage is discharged into
waterways by 2030. But with so many people getting sick from swimming in
polluted waters, they should commit to endingall sewage dumping in bathing
waters by this date.
In the months ahead, we’ll be holding the Government to account to deliver
these changes and take the additional steps needed to reform the system.
The days of wild west water companies paying out huge bonuses while ruining
rivers with filthy sewage must finally be brought to an end.
John, there's no doubt these major reforms would not be happening if it wasn't
for our record General Election win and the millions who voted for, and
supported us last year, allowing us to deliver our relentless campaign.
But there is still so much to do. It is only the Liberal Democrats who are
working hard to fix our broken health and care services, tackle the
cost-of-living crisis and deliver the change the country is crying out for.
Will you help us deliver that change, by donating to our campaigning funds, so
that we can continue to fight for the issues we all care so deeply about?
