UK government proposes to increase compensation for water company failures.

The UK government proposes to increase compensation for water company failures, with water companies required to pay higher compensation to affected households and businesses if their plans are approved. The proposals would broaden the circumstances that trigger compensation, including automatic payments for "boil notices" when water needs to be boiled before drinking or cooking. An eight-week consultation period is in place for the plans.
