An independent review of the UK water industry is being set up, after public outcry over bills and sewage pollution.
Abolishing the regulator Ofwat is among the options that'll be considered by the commission. It's also expected to focus on regulation, infrastructure and cleaning up Britain's lakes, rivers and seas.
Bills for some customers are forecast to go up by more than 40% by 2030, while the amount of untreated sewage being released into waterways has hit record highs.
Henry Swithinbank from the campaign group Surfers Against Sewage says the review is good news:
In: We have seen…
Out: …and the planet.
