Chief executive Lawrence Gosden and chief financial officer Stuart Ledger have both declined a bonus for the year to March 2023, The Company announced in its annual report.

Executives at Thames, Yorkshire and South West Water have already announced because of poor performances.
Southern Water also announced that its net financing costs had increased by More Than 40% to £278. 6m in the year to 1 April.

Mr Ledger said it had been a " challenging financial year, with above-inflation rises".
He Said : " We recognise that this is a challenging time for our customers, with a cost-of-living crisis and above-inflationary costs impacting both households and businesses, so we have increased our support package significantly, almost halving The Bill for over 113,000 households. "
Southern Water was for deliberately dumping billions of litres of raw sewage into The Sea in 2021.
The Company serves East Kent, parts of Sussex, Hampshire and The Isle of Wight.
