(Reuters) – Britain’s water regulator said on Tuesday it has reached the next stage of its enforcement cases related to a probe into sewage treatment after water firms in 2021 admitted they could be releasing non-permitted sewage discharges into water bodies.
The Ofwat said it has notified Northumbrian Water, Thames Water and Yorkshire Water of its provisional findings, and the companies would now have the opportunity to respond to the findings.
The regulator said it expects to publish its proposed decision for public consultation in the first quarter of 2024.
