Responding to the news that Welsh Water have been ordered to pay a £24m penalty by industry regulator Ofwat, the Leader of the Welsh Liberal Democrats Jane Dodds MS said
“For far too long now, the people of Wales have been saddled with rising water bills while our rivers and coastlines are being polluted with sewage. It’s clear that our Welsh water companies have routinely fallen short of the standards expected of them.
We as the Welsh Liberal Democrats have long campaigned for the urgent clean-up of our rivers and coastlines and for harsher punishments for those guilty of sewage dumping.
There can be no more excuses for inaction, if we want change then we must act decisively both for the people of Wales and its beautiful natural environment.”
