Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2024

Debate

Water (Special Measures) Bill [HL]

Contribution

Clause 3 is just one measure that the Government require to better understand the impact of sewage entering our waterways and ultimately on water quality. In the price review 24, continuous water quality monitors will be installed at 25% of storm overflow and treated sewage discharge sites. These will monitor information to assess water quality, including levels of dissolved oxygen, temperature and pH values, turbidity, and levels of ammonia. These monitors provide the information we are all looking for. I hope noble Lords feel reassured on these points.
