The Birmingham-based company is already facing a £35.8m fine from regulator Ofwat for separate offences involving providing false information and poor customer service.

That fine, relating to offences which took place in 2001 and 2002, followed a probe by the Serious Fraud Office.

Ofwat said Severn Trent’s behaviour had been “unacceptable”.
