Responding to the news that Dŵr Cymru has been warned it risks prosecution after a damning new report by Natural Resources Wales highlighted its worst-ever performance last year, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Janet Finch-Saunders MS, said:
“NRW’s damning progress report highlights further decline in performance from Dŵr Cymru water, but also that Labour have dropped the ball on sewage in Wales.
“Dŵr Cymru is now facing prosecution after its worst-ever performance last year, all whilst people in Wales are facing water bill hikes of up to £200.
“With Wales having four times as many sewage discharges as England, inaction by Dŵr Cymru and the Labour Welsh Government is compromising our Welsh waterways. Welsh Conservatives continue to call for Labour and NRW to hold water firms to account with more effective enforcement and fining measures, ensuring our waterways are safe.”
