If approved by Ofwat, the spending would support the construction of 10 new reservoirs to secure water supplies, cut leakage by a quarter by 2030, invest \u00a311bn to reduce overflow spills and remove more than a million tonnes of phosphorus from rivers.<\/p>\n<p>The investment is expected to be the most ambitious modernisation of sewers since the Victorian era, which would help reduce spills by more than 140,000 annually by the end of the decade. The creation of new nature-based schemes to manage rainwater and technology to better manage flows are listed as investment priorities. The critical investments will be funded by gradual increases to bills between 2025 and 2030. The average bill in England will increase by \u00a37 per month by 2025, rising to \u00a313 per month by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>The sector has been has been in the media spotlight over accusations of pollution and discharges.<br \/>\nIn July, the Environment Agency confirmed it would now hand out limitless financial penalties under new legislation aimed at protecting the environment and speeding up the enforcement process. Previously the Environment Agency could only hand out fines up to \u00a3250,000 for offences. The power will apply to permit breaches for combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and hazardous waste disposal. The UK\u2019s post-Brexit environment watchdog stated that water regulator Ofwat, plus factions of the Government, may have flouted environmental laws by not properly regulating sewage overflows.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/water-companies-plan-96bn-investment-to-overhaul-sewers-and-cut-back-on-leakage-and-spills\/\">Edie<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-399\/\">Water companies plan \u00a396bn investment to overhaul sewers and cut back on leakage and spills<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,11686,1165,11687],"class_list":["post-117338","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-ofwat","tag-sewage","tag-water-companies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117338\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
