I think this is a very overlooked part of the industry. Water companies are obligated to provide clean water for consumption and treat waste water to a level it is pretty much drinkable. They pollute the water 0% and have to remove everyone else's pollution.
We pay them to do it but keep adding to the pollutants and volumes of pollution in the water. From chemicals, hormones, wipes, ear buds, fats, etc.
Why does no one ever point the finger at the people creating the pollution, us? We could all do better and ease the strain on water treatment and consumption could we not?
It'd certainly keep the bills down if as a population we consumed less water and didn't pollute it that's for sure!

100%
As I see it, the only real driver for improvement will come from the growing number of people participating in open water swimming demanding better water quality, the government don't give a flying **** about angling, the water quality or the environment in general
Privatization = cost cutting and invested interests and comes at a cost and the cost is neglect and in this case its water quality. Some truly shocking practices gone / going off

Says it won't be paid by the customer, but it will be one way or another!
Glad to see it though, every water company could be hit with similar fines, issue is where the fines go. If that goes to treasury and never funds river based environmental improvements by water based NGOs or whoever then what is the point in fining them?
That sort of money could be used for incredible environment projects across the region, or actually going towards fixing the problems that cause the pollution. Sadly it looks like it will end up with treasury and pay MP expenses.
