The Labour government in England and Wales has proposed a new law that could see water company CEOs jailed for up to two years if they hide information about sewage dumping.
This legislation aims to force water companies to provide data quickly and hold them accountable for their environmental actions.
The government also plans to require water companies to pay for investigations conducted by the Environment Agency and Drinking Water Inspectorate.
This new approach seeks to address concerns about the lack of accountability and transparency within the water industry.
