The bosses of water companies could face two years in prison and be banned from taking bonuses as Labour launches a crackdown on England's chemical and manure-infested waters.

The bosses of water companies could face two years in prison and be banned from taking bonuses as Labour launches a crackdown on England's chemical and manure-infested waters. The Water Bill, is designed to hand new powers to regulators Ofwat and the Environment Agency as they look to punish water companies for failing both the environment and customers.

"If they refuse to comply, they could end up in the dock and face prison time."Under this proposed law, regulators will be granted powers to issue large and automatic fines without having to launch lengthy investigations.Alan Lovell, chair of the Environment Agency, said the regulator welcomed the Government's ambition to drive through "much-needed" reform.
