It follows that notorious landmark review by the Independent Water Commission - the biggest shake up of the water industry since privatisation in 1989 - but, aside from scrapping the water regulator, Ofwat, what if anything is the Government planning to do now to change the way our water companies operate to ensure a scandal like this never happens again?
