A report says the chief executive of Pennon has had her annual bonus reinstated after it was initially blocked. The decision follows controversy over pollution linked to Pennon’s South West Water unit, which is described as having poisoned more than 500 customers with tap water contaminated by parasites. According to the reporting, a company-wide ban on bosses’ bonuses was introduced after the incident, and the CEO’s payment was stopped at first. The report adds that the CEO later received a bonus of £270,000 after the earlier block was lifted. The sources provided focus on the timing and reinstatement of the bonus and the scale and type of contamination attributed to the supplier, but they do not include details on the company’s position, any formal findings, the duration of the contamination, or whether regulatory action or legal proceedings are under way. The information therefore centers on the reported linkage between the pollution case and the later change in the bonus decision.
