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 just stumbled upon your post; and what the hell - England privatised water infrastructure? I didn't know and tbh who could've thought that privatising such common good is a good idea???

It’s even worse than leaky and expensive, the sewage contamination seems to have moved from “events” to just business as usual
