 WATER CUT COMPENSATION TO BE INTRODUCED
 Environment Secretary John Gummjt has  
 said legislation aimed at giving       
 compensation for interruptions in water
 supplies is to bj introduced.          
                                        
 The new legislation will force water   
 companies to pay private customers £10 
 a day and businesses £50 a day.        
                                        
 The move follows calls from the watit  
 regulator OFWAT for firms to bj legally
 required to pay such compensation.     
                                        
 OFWAT also said a £25 lump sum should  
 bj paid when pressure was cut.
