BAN ALL RAW SEWAGE DUMPS IN UK WATER

Change.org
Random thought, I have no choice in who supplies my water and sewerage services. Why are water companies spending thousands and thousands of pounds on advertising?

If its all about corporate branding and reputation, surely we would think better of them if they did the job properly.
