Thames Water has warned that its annual bills could rise by almost £200 a year to £627 by 2030 to pay for investment projects to clean up rivers and prevent sewage spills.
Under a new investment plan unveiled on Monday the embattled utility said it would cut day-to-day spending in order to free up another £1.1 billion more to spend on environmental pro-jects from 2025 to 2030. That brings total spending over the five years to £19.8 billion.
