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!

My bill went up 28% last year and another 14% on that this year. Fucking rip off criminal bastards. I also have to keep an emergency water store cuz it goes off around once a year. It did this once for three days without notice.
When they send me a warning to conserve water in the summer I'll tell them to fuck off - I'm paying for it and I'll leave the bloody tap running if I want to and screw you. I won't, not the sort of thing I'd do, but they don't know that. Bastards.
