More than 80 per cent of the 75 water pollution events were driven by Thames Water (33 incidents), Southern Water (15) and Yorkshire Water (13).
The most serious pollution incidents are classed as category 1 (major), and category 2 (significant). In 2024, 75 category 1 and 2 incidents were recorded, up from 47 serious incidents the previous year, the report found.
Alan Lovell, chair of the Environment Agency said: “This report demonstrates continued systemic failure by some companies to meet their environmental targets.
“We have made significant changes to tighten our regulation of the water industry and ensure companies are held to account. With a dedicated larger workforce and increased funding, our officers are uncovering and acting on failures to comply with environmental law.”
