looks like water rates are going up then :(

Quote:
The company, whose operating profits were £213m in 2019, covered up its actions by “very significant under-reporting” of the number of illegal pollution spills it had made, Canterbury crown court heard.I wonder if it had been a private company that the public aren't forced to use, could the fine be higher?
