HelenIf only #YorkshireWater weren't allowed to cream off loads of profits... we've got a 20% bill increase... for them to invest in doing stuff they should be doing anyway...💦
MactonexJust got my annual water bill from Yorkshire Water and I’m wondering why I can’t just go and shit directly in a river and save myself the money. #YorkshireWater #privatisation
Craig StewartBitching about a business when they screw up is all well and good, but what about when they get it right?
Raised an issue with #YorkshireWater about a manhole cover leaking smelly water on Friday evening. Was notified this morning that someone was going to have a look, and now it's not leaking anymore.
DoomsdaysCWSerious water pollution incidents up 60% in #England, Environment Agency says
Esme Stallard, July 18, 2025
Excerpt: "Every year the Environment Agency records the number of times pollution such as untreated sewage is released from water company sites such as treatment works into the country's waterways.
Just three companies were responsible for the vast majority of the most serious incidents - #ThamesWater (33), #SouthernWater (15) and #YorkshireWater (13).
" 'These figures expose a brutal truth. Serious #pollution incidents are rising, #sewage discharges remain rampant, and our rivers are spiralling toward #EcologicalCollapse. This is not just regulatory failure; it is a national disgrace,' said #RiverAction CEO James Wallace."

This shows the Yorkshire drought control line. If stored water capacity goes below this, then we have to revert to tankers and stand pipes.
Water capacity should be high until August (from the spring rains)
In 1995 the capacity dropped below this line in late August.
This year with no spring rain (15cm since Feb), we'll cross the line mid July... (historical the driest part of the year) ...
