The Government has announced that it is scrapping the cap on water companies can be fined.
The announcement is part of the Govrernment's Plan for Water. Under the plan, fines from water companies will be reinvested into a new Water Restoration Fund, making polluters pay for damage they cause to the environment.
This fund will deliver on-the-ground improvements to water quality as well as supporting local groups and community-led schemes which help to protect our waterways.
