by 75% by 2035, and 80% of all discharges
by 2050.
Water firms are under pressure after
1,000 sewage spills a day were recorded in 2021.
They could face legal action after admitting
possible illegal discharges.
The admission last year prompted a major
government investigation into more
than 2,200 sewage treatment works spanning
all water and sewerage companies in England.
Mr Eustice said the government was investing
£7bn until 2025 to upgrade sewage
infrastructure but admitted water bills will
rise by about £12 a year to cover costs beyond that.]

The companies need to be punished harshly after ONE offence !!
A thousand per day means they aren’t even bothered imho
Fifty years ago the best places to catch huge Cod off Scarborough beach were the two sewage pipes that pumped waste into the sea - about 50 metres out
