Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, Hafren Dyfrdwy, Severn Trent and United Utilities are the latest companies being investigated by the water regulator Ofwat in what it said was its 'largest and most complex' probe.

The water regulator is now investigating every wastewater company in England and Wales over fears that some may not be meeting their obligation to minimise pollution. Ofwat announced it has opened enforcement cases into four more firms as part of its investigation into utilities' management of wastewater treatment works.

The UK information commissioner John Edwards wrote to the utility firms in England, Wales and Northern Ireland on Monday asking them to publish information on the number and duration of sewage outflows every month, instead of waiting for members of the public to request information in an effort to build public trust.
