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.] This a Pay Online Link, now https://inews.co.uk/news/thames-wate...-hikes-3160764 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyx0jxrq7y4o [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."] Last edited by arista; 11-07-2024 at 11:36 AM. |

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

All the arch tories in anger about this, and yet whenever, the left says, actually we should renationalise these services, and profits should go into service improvement and bill reduction, they call us extremists
Enjoy your sh1tty water, punks.

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.

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.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5ypp032le0o Last edited by arista; 06-08-2024 at 02:07 PM. |

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? |
