UK water firms profit millions from opaque wastewater trade
Original: The 'black box' wastewater trade that rakes in millions for UK utility companies
A Guardian investigation reports that UK utility companies are making millions from a poorly understood trade in industrial and commercial wastewater treatment. The arrangements are described as a 'black box' because pricing and treatment outcomes are opaque, raising questions about whether customers and regulators can verify what companies actually charge and deliver for commercial sewage services.
Why now: Fresh Guardian reporting on the UK water industry has reignited public anger over water company practices and regulation.
