💧 Anglian Water fined £1.6m for polluting nearly 14km of the River Brain with untreated sewage. Alarms warning of the faulty valve? Ignored. Staff didn't even talk to each other. Six weeks of pollution, described in court as "organisational failure". The law allows individuals to be prosecuted for consent, connivance or neglect. Until regulators use these powers, fines remain just a cost of doing business for water firms. 🔗 https://www.gov.uk/government/news/16m-fine-for-anglian-waters-pollution-of-essex-river #WaterPollution #EnvironmentalJustice
