For almost 20 years, the firm that oversees Northern Ireland's water network has been protected from the level of pollution fines dealt out to other water companies in the rest of the UK – but that could be about to change.

Northern Ireland Water has operated under special arrangements since its formation in 2007, due to an acknowledgement that the antiquated wastewater infrastructure has been underfunded.

However, Environment Minister Andrew Muir has signalled new reforms that could see NI Water face punishment for issues in the waterways.
