BBC Watchdog 28th April

Did anyone see Watchdog last night? There was a piece on about water companies and their dodgy practices. Most worrying was a story about a couple from Scotland who spent a lot of money putting in a horse dressage training area on their land only to have it ruined by a massive sewage leak. It cost them £52k to have it put back once the sewage went away (twice what it cost to install) and the water company have no liability to rectify damage done by their sewage, only damage done by the water supply, e.g. burst water main. The same presumably would apply if there was any kind of spillage or other damage caused by sewage at the proposed plant in Hemingbrough.
