A modern urban wastewater treatment plant.

Southern Water pay out a record £126m for shocking failures in their sewage treatment plants.

The Environmental Agency has imposed a record £3 million pound fine and also imposed compensation of £123m to all of Southern Waters, 4.2m customers. The £123m compensation package means that every customer will get £61 off their water bill. Southern Water repeatedly manipulated their tests on wastewater, meaning the standard of water we expect in our homes, was far from perfect.

In response to the news that Southern Water has been fined a record £126m for their “shocking” failures at the company’s sewage treatment sites, leading water filter brand ZeroWater have offered all Southern Water customers a discounted water filter starter Kit bundle, with Free delivery, which will ensure their water is the best quality possible removing over 99% of all dissolved solids.

We offer a solution to provide filtered water for all customers, which if offset against their compensation makes this purchase free.

The FDA requires the TDS level in PURIFIED bottled water to reach 000-010ppm. ZeroWater is the only filter in its class to achieve this level.

ZeroWater’s first layer of filtration, activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste you are accustomed to with tap water. The Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping such as Aluminium, Lead, Zinc, Nitrate and many more. Three additional stages are included to remove and other contaminants to ensure tap water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a “000” reading on the included laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids meter.

Southern Water has been fined for waste water spills and is now facing prosecution by the Environment Agency after Ofwat imposed a record £126m fine over their total failures at the company’s sewage treatment sites.

This has resulted in polluted rivers and beaches in southern England.
The imposed fine and penalty will also see all customers get a rebate of at least £61 each.

According to Ofwat’s Rachel Fletcher: “What we found in this case is shocking.” while Southern Water has had to announce that it was “deeply sorry”.

Additionally, The Environment Agency has launched a criminal investigation into the case. This Agency has the power to take court action when companies’ actions hurt our natural environment and waters.

The environmental Agency states: “We are pursuing our own criminal investigation into Southern Water due to suspected permit breaches at a number of its sites.” It also added that it expected to start court proceedings “Very Soon”.
