Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 42 is similar and seeks to expand on the regularity with which the water companies must publish such reports on the implementation of their pollution incident reduction plans. This amendment specifically seeks to provide quarterly reports in which water companies must self-assess their progress towards their PIRPs and publish these reports, with approval from Ofwat. Through this measure, the public would be kept informed with more regular, reliable reports that allow them to see the steps water companies are taking. On the other side, it would also ensure that water companies act swiftly to implement actions within their pollution incident reduction plans, as they have to publish reports and be held to account more frequently.
