During the meeting, water bosses signed up to the Government’s initial package of reforms to cut sewage dumping and attract investment to upgrade infrastructure.</p><p></p><p>The Government also announced a new Water (Special Measures) Bill, which will turn around the performance of water companies, in the King’s Speech.
