Anglian Water’s owners are ploughing £100 million into developing a spills taskforce to accelerate the company’s efforts to tackle water pollution. This will bring Anglian’s total investment for the year to more than £1 billion, with almost half of that dedicated to environmental protection measures. Money will be spent improving sewer networks and wastewater processing plants and assets. The work aims to reduce the number of spills from combined sewer overflows, prevent pollution and protect waterways.
