Regulation and Legislation
Wessex Water has been found negligent after sewage leaks killed thousands of fish - with the company failing to report incidents to the Environment Agency as early as it should have.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Welsh Government have today launched a new consultation on proposals to reform the Bathing Water Regulations 2013.
The Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development( RAPID) has agreed to a request from Thames Water to push back its Gate three submission for the London Water Recycling project - Teddington Direct River Abstraction scheme to December 2024.
The Environment Agency is surging water company inspections in the South West – EA inspection teams are continuing to grow, focused on checks, enforcement, and regulation.
Ofwat is consulting on new standards expected of water companies for how they should operate, grow and maintain their priority services registers (PSR) of customers that need extra help. The regulator estimates that as many as 52% of households in England and Wales are likely to be eligible for PSR services.
