The OEP has ruled that it allowed excessive sewage into England's rivers and seas.

The article from MSN discusses a report by the Office for Environmental Protection (OEP) which found that the UK government and regulatory bodies have potentially breached environmental laws concerning sewage discharges. The OEP highlighted that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), the Environment Agency, and Ofwat might have failed in their duties to manage and reduce sewage pollution effectively. The investigation pointed out issues with the monitoring, enforcement, and the overall regulatory framework which could be leading to illegal sewage discharges into rivers and seas. This has raised concerns about the health of aquatic environments and public health, prompting calls for urgent action to rectify these legal and environmental oversights.
