Inspections on water companies to quadruple ‘to end routine lawbreaking’
Inspections on water companies will quadruple over the next year in a bid to crack down on pollution by firms, the Government has announced.
The measures to increase checks include up to 500 additional Environment Agency staff for inspections, enforcements and stronger regulation over the next three years.
Increased inspections and enforcement by the environmental regulator will be backed by around £55 million each year funded by the Environment Department
