The House of Lords report blames government, regulator and water companies for pollution.
"For decades the focus has always been on supplying cheap good quality water to the population. The environmental objectives have not been focused on," says Lord Cromwell, a member of the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee, which published the report.Most see the solution as building a waste water system that manages rainwater and waste water separately, so they no longer go to the same place to be treated.
That cost will almost certainly will be passed on to customers, with the Lords report saying there will need to be a "social tariff" for those unable to pay the higher rates. It did not say how much it expected bills to rise. The Lords report also called for the water regulator Ofwat to push for greater transparency from water companies. Despite rising public awareness, companies still don't have to provide comprehensive information on what, when and how much they release.
