Ofwat has said NO
to any big price increases


So Thames Water
will have to be given to the Government
to take over, soon.

[arista]

Ofwat has said
a level from next April
will be around £19 a year increase.

Thames Water
have stated they must have a Larger Increase
or they will close down.


Thames Water is also paying their CEO
£195K Bonus

[The boss of Thames Water has taken a
£195,000 bonus for his first three months
in post at the same time as
urging regulators to allow the troubled
utility to hike customer bills by
nearly 60 per cent.]

[The bill hike is intended to fund investment
for improvements such as replacing
leaking pipes and reducing sewage
discharges into rivers and seas.

It comes as suppliers face increasing scrutiny
over their environmental and
financial performance over the past years,
as well as anger over executive pay.

The bill hike varies by region,
with Thames Water customers facing
an increase of £99 or 23%
over the next five years,
Anglian customers looking at £66 or 13%,
and Southern Water customers facing £183,
an increase of 44%.

The proposed bill rises can be challenged by
the water firms, with a final determination
due at the end of the year with increases
set to take place from April.

David Henderson, chief executive of industry
group Water UK, told BBC business editor
Simon Jack:
"We think they’ve [Ofwat] got this wrong."

"This is an unrealistic and unfair decision
from Ofwat and our economy and
environment will pay the price," he said.

A spokesperson for the lobby group
said the proposed plans were
"the biggest ever cut in investment."]

A New Lib Dem MP
on Politics Live BBC2HD

She wants to scrap Ofwat.

[bots]

yeah scrapping ofwat is just what consumers need. Let the water companies charge consumers whatever they like. That's a great idea

[Livia]

Stop all bonuses. That's be a start.

It goes back to when water was privatised, which was pre-Blair under a tory government.

Still, the only side offering a fail safe solution is the extreme hard left, with their popular policies that most of the country agrees with

Extremism.

Why did the tories sell off all of our public services, to put them at the mercy of capitalist profiteering? This has nothing to do with Blair (beyond failure to renationalise), who hasn't been anywhere near government for a long time.

Tories expecting labour to fix all their mistakes in the short time they get in-between right wing ideology destroying this country.

[An essential public service teeters on the edge of collapse.
Mired in debt, caught up in scandal,
and definitely too big to fail – many believe it is
only a matter of time before the government steps in.]


Starmer needs to Build more new Water Reservoirs

[arista]

Thames Water has been fined £104 million

And 2 Other Mega Groups


[Thames Water,
Yorkshire Water and
Northumbrian Water face £168m fines
by the industry regulator over
historic sewage spills.
The proposal will now go to public consultation
and is part of Ofwat's largest ever
investigation into water company performance.

The announcement comes amid growing
public anger over the environmental
and financial performance of some
water companies.]

[Vanessa]

I'm with affinity water.

[arista]

The Problem is those mega fines
will be paid for by all the customers in higher bills.


And Thames Water
told ITV1HDnews they only have enough money until May 2025?
