A water company released sewage into the stream that runs into the beach where we were holidaying. I tried to sue to water company for spoiling our holiday. This is what happened…
Interesting note, Kit. They are an absolute shambles. How can it be right that the utility companies were sold to investors, loaded with debt, stripped of cash, and now we are expected to fund their greed by paying higher bills to bail them out whilst they fill the rivers with faeces?!
Perhaps we should start a national campaign and collectively sue them?
Directors of Privatised Utilities should be prevented from having Directors and Officers insurance, it would help focus their minds ( bank accounts ) on doing the right thing. Alternatively require our MPs and Water company directors to drink a random glass of river water once a month.
Have you seen that chart of last 18mo and counting low pressure over the UK? Water is going to be quite the thing if that is the new normal for GB. Worth noting that we will be also facing water shortages later in the year. Something about not enough reservoirs. Water extraction for new housing - chalk streams in Cambridgeshire - artesian levels round London? Huge nutrient burdens even with treated discharge? Upstream burden from intensive poultry on the fields wiping out the River Wye? Holidays, water on tap, motorised suburbia: take care!
