Gent in blue observes that we're being told to save water but water companies such as South West Water (his region) have excessive leaks #BBCQT South West Water lost 41.4 billion litres of water through leaks in 2025/26. That’s based on reported leakage of 113.54 million litres every day. That's equivalent to roughly 45 Olympic swimming pools a day. The Environment Agency puts South West Water’s leakage at 17.6% of the water entering its supply system in 2025/26 Between 1990 and 2023 over £4.5 billion has been paid out in dividends. And between 2013 to late 2023, they were given £450 million of taxpayer money to subsidise customers’ bills, while parent company Pennon paid £1.5 billion in shareholder dividends. The water industry is robbing the British public, shame on Labour for not renationalising water.
