Ansawdd dŵr - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gydag Ofwat
Now that you've found Dŵr Cymru to be 'lagging' in your recent water company performance report, how are you going to hold Dŵr Cymru to account for its missed performance measures? And will that current Dŵr Cymru performance be considered in evaluating its…

I'm still not convinced that you've got the teeth, or you do have the power but you're not using that power. At the end of the day, the numbers just do not stack up. I was hoping today that you'd reassure me that, actually, you do have this criteria that's…

'What comes out of the prosecutions?' is what I'm asking.

Let's be honest, companies only start to really take things seriously if they feel that they are going to be fined. What was the result of those prosecutions then?

Ansawdd dŵr - Sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chyfoeth Naturiol Cymru
Six prosecutions.

Okay, let's go back to the basics then. You've sent 340 warning letters and there's been just under 200 breaches, but only two fines. It doesn't stack up.

But it takes me back to the question. There have been five serious incidents. But 340 warning letters to only have two fines tells me that the warning letters themselves may not be fit for purpose.

Let's face it, you are regulators. You also have enforcement powers. So, how do you respond to the fact that Dŵr Cymru has breached its permit conditions more than 200 times in the last six years, and they've only been fined twice? Why is that?

We know from speaking to Dŵr Cymru earlier—they said there were less than 200 sites known to be operating in breach of their permits. What do you believe is the real action to address these?

Okay.

Yes, just in terms of enforcement, though, there doesn't seem to be much to satisfy me that you're taking enforcement seriously on these.

I acknowledge the fact that of all the sites that you've got, fewer than 200 were operating in breach of their permits. So, I guess my main question is: how many of those have actually been addressed, and what action—? There must be some that are still…

Dadl y Ceidwadwyr Cymreig: Ansawdd dŵr
Pan fyddwn yn gweld sylw rheolaidd yn y wasg i ansawdd dŵr ac yn clywed pryderon gan etholwyr, yr un yw’r nod yn y pen draw: i lygredd ddod i ben. Credaf fod Llywodraeth Cymru yn tanseilio’r broses honno ar hyn o bryd. Felly, yn gyntaf, fel yr wyf wedi'i…

Rydym i gyd eisiau ansawdd dŵr gwell. Fodd bynnag—ac mae'n ganlyniad i'r cytundeb cydweithio hwn—mae'n siomedig fod Aelod o'r un blaid â'n Llywodraeth yn codi amheuon am weithredoedd ein ffermwyr, sy'n wynebu cyfnod anodd iawn ar hyn o bryd. Nawr, mae rhai o…
