    Business

    Ofwat said it would use new powers to prevent customers paying for £6.8m in payouts across the industry, 73 per cent of the total.

    There is currently no statutory requirement to pay compensation to customers when supply interruptions occur, although some voluntarily offer payouts at varying rates.

    Business

    Severn Trent described the claim as "highly inaccurate and not reflective at all of how we work," in a statement following the ruling.
