Multimillion-pound plans to stop thousands of sewage spills, including into Windermere in the Lake District, are being considered by the industry's watchdog.
"We want to see companies making more rapid progress in delivering improvements and will hold them to account if they fall short."Windermere is on the verge of "catastrophe" unless urgent action is taken to improve its water quality. "The new Environment Act of 2021 sets out that water companies must reduce all storm water spills by 2050 but we've challenged ourselves to move smarter and faster because we know how important this issue is to local communities," she said.
She said: "It builds on the key commitments in our five-year strategy - our Environmental Improvement Plan - as well as our upcoming Plan for Water to tackle pollution, reduce water consumption and protect our waters."
