Labour will leave Britain with the cleanest rivers on record by cutting sewage pollution from water firms in half by 2030, the environment secretary will say.
Steve Reed will promise on Sunday to make the UK's rivers the cleanest since records began with a £104bn investment to rebuild the country's crumbling sewage pipes.
It will mark the first time ministers have set a clear target for reducing sewage pollution against which they can be judged at the next election.
