Water Companies Say Proposed Price Hikes Aren't Enough To Fund System Improvements

WHITSTABLE, ENGLAND - JULY 11: Workers install a replacement one kilometre long outfall pipe that releases excess stormwater into the sea near the Swalecliffe wastewater treatment works, operated by Southern Water, on July 11, 2024 in Whitstable, England. Today, the regulator for the water industry in England and Wales, Ofwat, announced that consumer water bills would rise by an average of £94 over the next five years. A spokesperson for the UK water industry said the proposed increases weren't enough to fund needed investment in infrastructure, including replacing leaking pipes and reducing sewage discharges, which have been the source of sustained industry criticism in recent years.
