Water Bosses Could Go to Jail for Hiding Sewage

The government in England and Wales is getting tough on water companies that dump sewage into rivers and then try to hide it.

Under new laws, the CEOs of these companies could face prison time if they don't cooperate with investigations.

This means water companies will have to be more transparent about their actions and face consequences for polluting our waterways.

The government is also taking steps to ensure that water companies pay for the environmental damage they cause.
