Another email from South East Water this evening. I'm glad they say they're not asking us to stop using water for drinking, cooking, or hygiene!

It's been raining all day where I live and, currently, we're experiencing a thunderstorm with heavy rain.

At the same time, South East Water, our water supplier is repeating its demand for us to restrict our water use:

"Act now, please do all you can to cut down on everything but essential water use, which is drinking, washing and cooking."

#water #southeastwater #uk

First the chairman and now the CEO of Sarf Eest Warta have legged it, so the sinking ship is now rudderless as well! 😂

When I receive and email from South East Water with the heading: "One person's paddling pool is another family's drinking water" and that goes on to urge:

"Please continue to help your local community by only using water for essential purposes, like drinking, cooking and hygiene."

I have for think: what country am I living in? How has the UK got to a point where clean water is literally running out?

BBC News | South East Water chair resigns after report into supply issues that left thousands without drinking water

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The chair of South East Water, Chris Train, resigned after an independent report condemned the company’s leadership as an “unaccountable clique” and highlighted severe supply failures that left tens of thousands of homes in Kent and East Sussex without drinking water for weeks. The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee declared no confidence in chief executive David Hinton and the board, criticizing poor governance, inadequate infrastructure maintenance, and weak responses to extreme weather and vulnerable customers. MPs called for the top executives to step down and urged the Secretary of State to intervene, while the regulator Ofwat considered a multi‑million‑pound fine. South East Water pledged to double investment in its network over five years and apologised to affected customers, but critics warned that further water crises are likely unless substantial changes are made.

Do we do #followFriday still? I wanted to shout out @We_Own_It who are a tiny organisation making big changes in UK fighting for #publicOwnership of #publicServices and against #privatisation of #nhs #healthCare #water (inc. campaigns #pollution profiteers #thamesWater and #southEastWater) and calls to #nationalise our #railway

They produce really great resources and stats and ways to take action - with both online petitions and on the ground local #activist groups.

They're new here and could do with some welcome boosts; so many people here would want to support them, I believe.

I just signed this @We_Own_It petition to Take South East #Water into #publicOwnership NOW!
