<p>此案标志着 Ofwat 在对污水管理进行的全行业调查中的第六次执法行动，今年对水务公司的总罚款已超过 2.4 亿英镑，因为该行业面临公众对污水排放到河流和海洋的愤怒。</p>

<p>根据 Ofwat 的说法，Wessex Water 及其股东将全额资助该处罚方案，其中包括密封污水管道、减少暴雨溢流和安装额外监测设备的措施，所有费用不会通过提高账单转嫁给客户。</p>
<p>Ofwat 的执法高级主任 Lynn Parker 表示，调查发现 Wessex Water“未能有效运营、维护和升级其污水资产”，尽管她称赞该公司在解决问题方面 “相对积极”。</p>
<p>监管机构表示，自 2020 年以来，Wessex Water 已投资超过 1.5 亿英镑用于升级暴雨溢流，并计划在 2025-2030 年间解决许多合规问题，尽管仍需进一步措施以确保完全合规。</p>

<p>Ofwat 提议对 Wessex Water 处以 1100 万英镑（1480 万美元）的罚款，原因是该公司未能维护其废水网络，导致污水溢出。这是对废水管理进行更广泛调查的一部分，今年的总罚款超过 2.4 亿英镑。Wessex Water 将自行承担罚款，而不会将成本转嫁给客户。尽管自 2020 年以来已投资超过 1.5 亿英镑，但仍需采取进一步的合规措施。在 Ofwat 对执法方案做出最终决定之前，将进行公众咨询</p>

<p>Britain's water regulator Ofwat proposed an 11 million pound ($14.8 million) enforcement package against Wessex Water on Tuesday after finding the utility failed to adequately operate and maintain its wastewater network, which led to sewage spills.</p>
