Who are the key figures in the #Sewage crisis, and where are they now?
With anger stoked by #Channel4’ s drama #DirtyBusiness, we look at what has happened to some of the main players
Sandra Laville
Fri 13 Mar 2026"Water companies have been in the public eye for the wrong reasons again recently. #SouthWestWater was in the dock pleading guilty to supplying water unfit for human consumption, while the regulator fined South East Water £22.5m for repeated supply failures that affected more than 280,000 people over three years.
"As the full scale of the sewage pollution scandal has been revealed to the public over the past six years, key figures working for the regulators and the #privatised companies have been heavily criticised. Channel 4’s drama Dirty Business has focused attention on individuals at the heart of the scandal.
"The Guardian examined what some of the main characters are doing today."

"Sarah Bentley
Bentley was the chief executive of #ThamesWater from September 2020 to June 2023. She joined from Severn Trent and promised an eight-year turnaround for the company, but left with immediate effect after three years following a public outcry over the discharge of #RawSewage into #rivers and missing targets on pollution and sewer flooding."

Why, indeed!
Why can #GolfCourses stay green during #droughts?
Wendy Hurrelland, Tony Grew, 8/4/2026
"While London's parks are showing the strain of a prolonged drought and high temperatures, some spots in the capital are still sporting pristine green grass.
"School playing fields and golf courses appear partly unaffected by the #HosepipeBan imposed by Thames Water on most of London at the end of July.
"Dulwich College and St Paul's School have come in for criticism for the lushness of their playing fields at a time of concern about the water supply, while London's golf courses are also being eyed with envy by homeowners whose lawns are turning brown."
[...]
"However, Cat Hobbs, director of We Own It, told BBC London: 'Since 1989 (water companies) have extracted £85bn in dividends.
" 'And when you get your water bill through the door, a third of that is going directly out again into shareholders' pockets and into the interest payments on the debts that they're racking up at your expense.
" 'We're all in this rip-off right now and it really has to end because what it means is that we're wasting essential money that could be used to reinvest into the infrastructure to stop leaks and we're wasting water.' "

#ThamesWater 's Legal Showdown: £3 Billion Bailout Battle Unfolds
#England ’s largest water company seeks a financial lifeline amid towering debts and creditor conflicts.
August 10, 2026
"Thames Water's predicament not only highlights its operational fragilities, plagued by outdated infrastructure and rising public dissatisfaction over #pollution incidents and escalating water bills, but also amplifies its strategic importance in serving vast swathes of London and the surrounding regions.
[...]
"The unfolding creditor clash not only underscores the intricate dance between legal, financial, and operational challenges but also places a magnifying glass on the fragile underpinnings of the UK's privatized water industry."

Serious water pollution incidents up 60% in #England, Environment Agency says
Esme Stallard, July 18, 2025
Excerpt: "Every year the Environment Agency records the number of times pollution such as untreated sewage is released from water company sites such as treatment works into the country's waterways.
Just three companies were responsible for the vast majority of the most serious incidents - #ThamesWater (33), #SouthernWater (15) and #YorkshireWater (13).
" 'These figures expose a brutal truth. Serious #pollution incidents are rising, #sewage discharges remain rampant, and our rivers are spiralling toward #EcologicalCollapse. This is not just regulatory failure; it is a national disgrace,' said #RiverAction CEO James Wallace."
