The English water companies have told the govt that to fix the infrastructure problems they will have to increase prices to customers.
Just worth remembering that Scottish Water – which is publicly owned – has invested nearly 35 per cent more per household in infrastructure since 2002 than the privatised English firms, charging 14 per cent less and not paying out dividends.
Conclusion ….Nationalised water works better!
@MarkHoltom shock. horror. When I was a young adult and privatisation became a thing in Australia, EVERYONE knew what would happen. And now we have billionaires, the gap is bigger, and everything is shit. And STILL govts are all “privatise” and enshittify.
