Water industry admits sewage monitoring damaging public trust

85% Informative
Water companies should not be allowed to monitor their own levels of sewage pollution, industry body says.
Instead they are proposing a new, third -party monitoring system to build consumer trust.
The recommendation is part of a submission made to the UK government's independent review into the water sector.
Campaigners have long complained the companies' self-reporting has prevented the true scale of pollution in UK water being revealed.
