British water companies have finally apologised for dumping sewage into UK waters and pledged investment to clean it up - but taxpayers will have to pay for it with higher bills.

Water companies have apologised for not acting quickly enough to tackle waste spills in rivers and beaches as the industry announced the biggest modernisation of sewers 'since the Victorian era'.

'More should have been done to address the issue of spillages sooner and the public is right to be upset about the current quality of our rivers and beaches. The organisation said '£10billion - more than triple current levels' is ready to be invested, 'enabling the biggest modernisation of sewers since the Victorian era, and the most ambitious programme on sewage spills in the world'.
