Regulation and Legislation
The government has confirmed that household goods will soon be carrying new eco-labels on their water efficiency.
The UK Government has announced an in-depth review into all regulators across the country.
Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey has confirmed that action to tackle sewage pollution and clean up waterways has been expanded via the updated Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan.
Following the publication this morning of Ofwat's report on the performance of the water companies in England and Wales, the Environment Secretary has described the report as “extremely disappointing”, saying “the fact that not a single water company is classified as ‘leading’ is unacceptable.”
Ofwat says that under-performance by the majority of water and wastewater companies in England and Wales, will mean companies have to return £114 million to customers next year.
