My understanding is the lack of ferric sulphate at waste water treatment works,
(where it is used to precipitate phosphate),
is nothing to do with Southern Water failing yet again to cope with peak storm water flows that flush sewage through their inadequate network(s?).
The UK was a driving force in writing the EU Water Directive(s?)
We have good ecological awareness and adquately funded campaigning orgainisations and pressure groups. What we also have is a supine government that relies upon the inadequately resourced Environment Agency to prosecute water companies who regard building sufficient storage to cope with peak storm water flows as an unnecessary burden upon their dividend delivery.
