- The Environment Agency assigned Thames Water a single star in 2024, marking the lowest performance since the EPA began in 2011.
- The company recorded 470 pollution incidents from its sewerage assets, significantly missing environmental targets.
- Thames Water was fined £123 million for poor sewage pollution management earlier in the year.
- Over £2.2 billion was invested in 2024 to upgrade the network, with major improvements expected to take at least a decade.
