Plaid Cymru: “Current system isn’t working and it’s about time water companies were held accountable”

Responding to Ofwat’s announced enforcement package for Dŵr Cymru, Plaid Cymru spokesperson for Climate Change Delyth Jewell MS said: “People are fed up of more and more sewage being dumped into our waterways while companies face little consequences. While water bills are becoming steeper, our water quality is becoming poorer - and yet those in charge of the system are being rewarded with huge bonuses. The current system isn't working and it's about time water companies were held accountable.

“Plaid Cymru will present a new water bill for Wales that will allow us to strengthen the regulatory system and fix this broken system - improving water quality, tackling pollution, and ensuring affordability for households the long-term.”
