Water Companies: Fines
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what was the amount of fines paid by each of the water companies in each of the past five years.
- Answer
-
We will not let companies get away with illegal activity and where breaches are found, the regulators will not hesitate to hold companies to account.
The Water (Special Measures) Bill will provide the most significant increase in enforcement powers to the regulators in a decade, giving them the teeth they need to take tougher action against water companies in the next investment period, which is due to start in April this year.
Details of the enforcement action taken against water companies by regulators are available on the relevant regulator’s websites.
Enforcement action by Drinking Water Inspectorate can be found on the DWI website.
Enforcement action by Ofwat can be found on the Ofwat website.
Enforcement action by the Environment Agency can be found on the EA website.
