Thames Water to be fined for wasting it

thames_wa120dpi.jpgThames Water, which recently declared a 31% increase in earnings, and has been adament about wanting a drought order, is now facing fines for failing to meet its own annual leak reduction target for the third year in a row.

Thames Water is a division of the German utility group RWE.

"It is immensely frustrating that despite our strenuous efforts to reduce leakage we have missed our target," said Thames Water's chief executive Jeremy Pelczer last month.
"We remain committed to achieving our target over the full five-year regulatory period," as reported by BBC News.
