South West Water have failed the people of Exmouth with more potentially illegal sewage discharges into our beautiful East Devon coastline.
South West Water’s infrastructure suffered a catastrophic failure this week due to their lack of proper investment into the town. I will be visiting the sites alongside the Environment Agency as a priority, who I have asked to launch a full investigation.
I have also written to Ofwat’s Chief Executive to call on the regulator to open enforcement action and consider criminal actions and fines against South West Water for this failure.
South West Water must pay for their dereliction of duty and deliver a permanent, fully funded solution to ensure our local community is never treated with such utter contempt again.
