Environment Secretary Steve Reed has announced a government plan to halve sewage discharges into UK waterways by 2030, calling it a "water revolution." Reed stated that the current state of the water sector is "broken" and requires significant reform. The plan aims to address growing public concern over the frequency and volume of raw sewage releases by water companies. Details of the plan are expected to be released shortly, and will likely include increased investment in infrastructure, stricter regulations for water companies, and enhanced monitoring of sewage discharges. The announcement comes amid mounting pressure on the government to tackle water pollution.
