Enormously complex, the outcome has the potential to be a game changer for communities up and down the land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur water environments have been regularly polluted with untreated sewage, water biodiversity denuded and degraded with impunity by private water companies. This is a positive day for environmental justice, not just for the public, but for nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Turning the tide on the sewage scandal<\/h3>\n<p>Good Law Project\u2019s interim head of legal, Jennine Walker, said: \u201cThis is a sensational victory and a real boost to the clean-up of our rivers, waterways and seas. It gives us stronger legal tools to turn the tide on the sewage scandal and hold water companies to account after our toothless and underfunded regulators have failed to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hope this landmark ruling empowers people and businesses to use the courts to challenge industrial-scale polluters like United Utilities, who have put profits and the shareholder interest over protecting our environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A landmark Supreme Court judgement will open legal avenues to sue water
