Natural Resources Wales says it is looking at the severity and frequency of Welsh Water's permit breaches. Welsh Water says it has a record of being 'open and transparent'.
An investigation has been launched into a water firm's sewage spills near Europe's largest bottlenose dolphin population. It comes after Welsh Water admitted illegally spilling untreated sewage. Natural Resources Wales - the body with responsibility for ensuring the country's natural resources are sustainably maintained - said it was looking at the severity and frequency of the company's permit breaches.
Welsh Water says it plans to build a new £20m water treatment works for Cardigan to ensure it fully complies with the discharge permit. Ann Weedy, operations manager at Natural Resources Wales , said it was aware of 'significant compliance issues' at the Cardigan plant. 'The issue is now unresolvable without significant investment and upgrading of infrastructure by Welsh Water. But this is the kind of investment that we and the public expect,' she said.
