Regulation and Legislation
Ofwat has published a paper setting out its approach to conducting customer research collaboratively with CCW and the sector for the 2024 Price Review (PR24) to inform common performance commitments, outcome delivery incentive (ODI) rates and acceptability and affordability testing.
South Shropshire MP, Philip Dunne, has welcomed the announcement by DEFRA Ministers that the Environment Bill will be strengthened to clamp down on sewage pollution.
Water sector regulator Ofwat has said that the current levels of storm overflow discharges into rivers cannot continue and must be tackled by the water sector.
The Government announced yesterday evening that the Environment Bill will be further strengthened with an amendment that will see a duty enshrined in law to ensure water companies secure a progressive reduction in the adverse impacts of discharges from storm overflows.
The vote by MPs last week in the House of Commons against amending the Environment Bill to stop water companies dumping raw sewage into Britain’s rivers is the target of ongoing and widespread criticism in the press and on social media.
