You'll want to be sitting down for this bit.
Water companies are currently £82.7 billion in debt, have paid themselves £85 billion in dividends, leak over a trillion of litres of water per year, dump sewage for almost 4 million hours per year, have been convicted of over 1,200 criminal acts since 1989 and an average of 35% of your bill goes on nothing but paying more interest and yet more dividends.
And not a single company has ever lost their operating licence. 👇
Yorkshire Water and Northumbrian Water have nearly 200 criminal convictions between them.
On 6 August 2024, Ofwat fined them £47m and £17m for sewage dumping.
Fines not paid, will not be paid. Firms claim to have invested. No penalty for abusing laws

Tax paid by Ratcliffe - £0

Hardly an apology! More of an admission on his part to stand aside & not challenge the toxic culture. Always has himself at the heart of each decision he makes. The worst kind of public servant. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9qe…
The ‘we’re receiving a high volume of contact/calls’ auto response is such a lazy, ineffective customer service trait. Show customers some respect. Sort out your service levels and employ people to respond to customers.

Another year, another rip-off.
Privatised water companies have polluted our rivers with sewage spills, failed to fix leaks while losing millions of litres of water a day, and racked up billions in debt—all while handing out huge dividends and executive bonuses. 1/3
Our April price changes are essential to maintain safe, high-quality drinking water, fix leaky pipes and ageing mains, and invest in upgrading our sewage works to improve river health.

Now they want us to foot the bill for their failures with an extra £17 a month, claiming it’s for “investment.” What about the £££ billions they’ve already taken in profits over the years? What about the £££ billions in debt they’ve built up? 2/3
