We also believe that Clauses 2 and 3 are designed to enhance those existing requirements. Clause 2 will ensure that all water companies publish information annually on the frequency and seriousness of pollution incidents, as well as the steps they are taking to reduce them. Clause 3 will require companies to publish discharge data for emergency overflows. This will ensure that discharge data from all sewage overflows will be published in near real time. The Environment Agency also regularly releases information and reports, such as the environmental performance assessment, to support the transparency and scrutiny of water companies.
