United Utilities posts earnings leap amid fallout from Windermere sewage spill

United Utilities has insisted it takes its role in protecting the environment “very seriously” as it revealed annual earnings jumped by nearly a fifth just days after being engulfed in a “scandal” over a massive sewage spill.

But on Wednesday , a fresh row broke out over the state of England’s waters after reports that millions of litres of raw sewage were pumped into Windermere in the Lake District. Documents from United Utilities seen by the BBC showed that a fault at a pumping station in Bowness-on-Windermere in Cumbria left sewage being illegally pumped into the famous lake for 10 hours in February.
