Eton, UK. 21st July, 2024. Water seeping from a pipe in Eton High Street, Windsor, Berkshire. Prosecutions of Thames Water by the Environment Agency for pollution incidents has resulted in fines of £ between 2017 and 2023. The Water (Special Measures) Bill was announced in the King’s Speech this week. The aim of the Bill if passed, would be to strengthen water regulators giving new powers to ban the payment of bonuses to water company executives if environmental standards are breached. Water company executives could also potentially face criminal sanctions. Credit: Maureen McLean/Alamy
