The Environment Agency called for a fundamental shift in culture and behaviour from English water firms in the light of “poor” results across the sector.
The regulator, which rates water firms annually on a one to four star basis, said only Severn Trent scored the top four-star rating on its performance in areas including pollution, sewage and improving the environment.
Overall, the nine companies collectively achieved just 19 stars out of a possible 36 in 2024, down from the 25 in 2023 and the lowest since the process started in 2011.
