Charge and stop water companies from releasing millions of sewage into UK river
I would like you to stop the water companies from raping our riverways every year, killing 80% of all marine life since 2000, for them to amend what they have done and lastly for them to be charged for their crimes.

Background
I live in Dorset, a beautiful county filled with luscious wilderness and beautiful chalk streams. Chalk streams are only really found in the south of England, and they are becoming polluted and toxic. The water companies across the UK commit crimes every single year yet they don't get prosecuted. Water companies profited a lot last year whilst they were tipping millions of litres of sewage into ours water ways. If we lose our rivers it will be a tipping point we can't come back from
