South West Water has been fined nearly £8 million following reckless sewage spills between 2015 and 2021. The water firm entered guilty pleas regarding pollution offences that resulted in raw sewage pouring into popular bathing spots across Devon and Cornwall. A judge described the company's actions as horrendous over the six-year period. This significant financial penalty follows the admission of guilt by the firm for the environmental damage caused to these coastal regions.
