These regulators are a waste of space, they can't even stop water companues dumping sewage in to rivers, decades of under investment is usually blamed, well whos fault is privatisatiob where useless greedy shareholders earn huge profits and produce nothing.
We need to follow what happened with Bankers in iceland, prosecute the directors.
Farmers will probably argue that if a water company with millions in the bank can get away with it, why should they take more care, not the right attitude BUT they would be making a fair point.
