Water Bill Price Review: The final nail in the coffin for Ofwat
EMBARGO: 22.30 18th December 2024
Commenting ahead of the final Ofwat price review determination, Liberal Democrat Environment Spokesperson Tim Farron MP said:
“This is surely the final nail in the coffin for Ofwat, a toothless, defunct regulator that has watched on idly whilst feckless water companies have pumped gallons of disgusting sewage into British waters.
“It is an absolute outrage that customers have had to foot the bill in the middle of a cost of living crisis for the mess that water companies have created.
“Increases in bills will be money down the plughole unless water companies are held to account. The Liberal Democrats have led the campaign against sewage, calling for a new water regulator, an end to executive bonuses and legal protections for our beautiful environment.”
