    Could be worse. Could be south West Water who poisoned an entire town with sewage drinking water, laid off a bunch of staff to cover the fines and then gave their C-suites a big bonus for handling the crisis.

    Water monopolies need to be broken up or nationalised if they are ever to benefit consumers.

      And cut off water to 13,000 people for nearly a week and continues to blame “victorian infrastructure” for their problems despite being in sole ownership of that infrastructure for 36 years and not doing a single thing to improve it.

      My south west tap water either smells like sewage or a swimming pool, nowhere in between, and if I try to use a Brita filter the filter goes off within a week.
