During a campaign visit to a water activity park in Warwickshire, Sir Ed Davey outlined the Liberal Democrats' proposal to establish a Clean Water Authority to address sewage dumping issues.
Davey says that the new regulatory body would prohibit bonuses for executives of water companies, revoke licenses from companies that fail to meet standards, enforce the provision of real-time sewage spill data, and implement legally binding discharge targets.
