Six British water companies are facing lawsuits valued at over 800 million pounds ($1 billion) for allegedly overcharging customers by under-reporting sewage discharges. Environmental and water consultant Carolyn Roberts plans to bring the claims, stating that the companies' failure to report pollution incidents had led to customers being overcharged.

Environmental and water consultant Carolyn Roberts, who plans to bring the claims, says water companies would have faced penalties if they had properly reported pollution incidents.

Water companies have pushed back against the proposed claims, describing them as "highly speculative". A spokesperson for industry body Water UK said: "This highly speculative claim is entirely without merit."
