The private water companies balls it up, the public has to pay for it. Whilst bonuses & dividends are still paid. What's the point of a reg. body?

"Two of Britain’s biggest water companies, #ThamesWater and #AnglianWater, face more than 50 criminal investigations between them..."
"Sources in the #environment department said that they had directed the Environment Agency to take robust action and hoped to see #water executives in #court in coming months. After these investigations, water bosses could be jailed for two years and water companies fined hundreds of millions of pounds."
"Water company executives who fail to co-operate or obstruct investigators looking into sewage spills can now be jailed for up to two years."

A 35 anni dalla privatizzazione voluta dal Governo Thatcher con la promessa di maggior efficienza, la Thames water di Londra si ritrova oggi con un debito di 15 miliardi di sterline, un servizio pessimo e le infrastrutture ridotte a un colabrodo. Pur avendo paradossalmente riconosciuto lauti dividendi agli azionisti. Un'amara lezione per chi propina ancora la falsa soluzione della finanza per "gestire" i beni comuni
#Labour used “economically illiterate” analysis paid for by #water companies to argue against nationalisation of the sector in #England
Official letter sent to anti-sewage groups, civil servants cited a paper by the #SocialMarketFoundation as reason to avoid nationalisation. The report from 2018 was commissioned by #UnitedUtilities, #AnglianWater, #SevernTrent and #SouthWestWater.
