3 months agoWater bills 'will rise' as Thames Water gets 3 billion bailout
Thames Water's restructuring plan was approved by the High Court to avoid bankruptcy, impacting customers with higher water bills.
Ofwat's new powers under the Water Special Measures Bill can ban bonuses for underperforming water companies, effective June, targeting Thames Water's financial practices.
Council officers are diligent and proactive, visiting work sites regularly to make sure works are carried out safely and are properly authorised. Despite previous warnings, Thames Water failed to take advice and disregarded the law.
