#Copplestone #Devon has no water this morning due to a burst water main. #SouthWestWater estimate it'll be back in 2-3 hours.

"Why can’t Britain get its shit together?"

#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.

Sadly, in a capitalist system they can get away with harming the natural world and everyone's access to swimming with impunity, it's only when they cause a financial impact that we have a chance of stopping them. We should seize it anyway.
I wonder how Imogen May, who had part of her home value seized after withholding her water bill to #SouthWestwater since 2019 in protest, is getting on. I hope she's okay

No swim warning in #Exmouth after major #SouthWestWater sewage spill
In #England & #Wales '#WaterCompanies are unlawfully dumping raw #sewage into our waters, forcing swimmers across the country to lose their right to swim.
Jo Bateman is one of those swimmers. We’re supporting her to take legal action against #SouthWestWater.
Jo’s swims have become frequently disrupted by unlawful sewage spills so she’s decided to take legal action for everyone who wants to protect their right to swim.'
