Six major UK water firms face bonus bans for top execs due to environmental and service failures.

Six major UK water companies, including Thames Water and Yorkshire Water, are banned from paying bonuses to top executives for the 2024-25 financial year due to failures in meeting environmental and customer service standards. The ban, introduced under the Water (Special Measures) Act, aims to hold companies accountable for sewage spills and poor performance. Ofwat, the water regulator, can enforce the ban and retrieve any improperly paid bonuses.
