The lawsuits follow the biggest wave of public criticism over the dumping of raw sewage and the poor quality of rivers and beaches since the British water industry was privatized in 1989

Six British water companies are facing lawsuits valued at over 800 million pounds brought on behalf of millions of customers for allegedly overcharging customers by under-reporting sewage discharges, a law firm said on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for industry body Water U.K. said: “This highly speculative claim is entirely without merit.”
