For the 17 And-waste'>Water And Waste Water Companies in englAnd And wales, this is their end of Year Report. And they know its unlikely to be pleasant reading. 0fwat, the regulator, has marked their work against a series of Performance Targets, such as reducing leaks And Pollution Incidents, as well as customer satisfaction, And whether Drinking Water kept coming out of the taps. What we really need to see are severe penalties that incentivise investment in the Water Infrastructure by Water Companies. We need to see the law enforced so that any form of pollution is prosecuted where it should be, And maybe even criminal prosecutions being levied against the leaders of Water Companies. And we need to see the regulators themselves given their Teeth Back we need to see funding given by the treasury so the Environment Agency And 0fwat can do theirjob And hold polluters to account. If they do badly, the regulator could instruct them to refund millions of pounds to their customers. Last year, they had to give more than £100 million back. The Water Companies say that 0fwat is part of the problem. They say theyre waiting for the regulator to approve big increases in customer bills, to pay for tens of billions of pounds of investment in infrastructure over the next five years.
