Mr Hollobone, it is a pleasure to have you in the Chair today. I am disappointed at South West Water's environmental performance and its impact on the local environment. The company has been upgraded from one star to two stars according to the Environment Agency's assessment but must take urgent steps to further reduce pollution incidents. South West Water has made progress on monitoring storm overflows, achieving a 30% decrease in spills and meeting the deadline for 100% coverage by the end of the year. I have called the CEO regarding Harlyn bay concerning discharges from storm sewage overflows and requested signage to alert bathers and surfers if pollution is identified. Ofwat announced an accelerated infrastructure package that includes £70 million investment in South West Water's catchments for 15 storm overflow improvement schemes, which will improve public health standards at important sites. The Government has set out strict targets requiring water companies to deliver a significant infrastructure project by 2050 and is consulting on expanding the sewage overflows plan further to cover coasts, estuaries, and marine protected sites. I am pleased that South West Water will lift hosepipe bans next week, as they have been in effect for extended periods. The Environment Agency brought prosecutions against water companies securing fines of £150 million, and recently South West Water was fined £2.1 million for criminal charges between 2016 and 2020. Enforcement budgets were expanded by the Government, including a £2.2 million annual increase for enforcement by the EA and an additional £11.3 million uplift for Ofwat. This is part of the largest criminal and civil investigation into water company permit compliance undertaken right now by the Environment Agency and Ofwat involving 2,200 sewage treatment works.
