  1. RE: mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/117155

    The UK has it's own 'Gary Indiana' story, a village in Kent hasn't had clean water for 3 months. But the difference is this story isn't about Racism but about Greed

  2. The Thames Water saga keeps rumbling on.

    Now the water regulator - Ofwat - has objected to the creditors' outrageous attempts to keep the utility privatised.

    And they're absolutely right. The public won't accept a deal which prioritises US hedge funds ahead of the households who pay for - and depend upon - our water system.

    Time to put Thames Water out of its misery. We need special administration, followed by permanent public ownership.

  3. 👀You won't read about this in mainstream media. Water regulator Ofwat has rejected Thames Water creditor's rescue deal.

    "The London & Valley Water consortium is now revising its proposal for the 4th time following objections over customer costs & investment delays."

    Keep the pressure on - write to Ofwat today. It only takes a minute.

  5. @BBCNews @top-stories-BBCNews Building reservoirs and maintaining infrastructure deprives the vampire owners and their flying-monkey directors of profits and bonuses. So TL:DR, yes of course we are!

    Thames Water could soon be let off the hook for sewage dumping, without paying a PENNY

    Behind closed doors, water bosses and the regulator Ofwat are close to a deal that could let the company avoid any new fines until 2030

    Please consider adding your name to this petition calling on the Environment Secretary, Emma Reynolds, to bring Thames Water into public ownership now

  9. #ThamesWater is poised to reach an agreement with #ofwat that will allow the struggling utility to avoid any new fines over the next four years in exchange for a commitment to invest cash into the business.

    Ofwat is planning to accept “undertakings” in lieu of financial penalties until 2030, according to people familiar with discussions, as part of a controversial offer put forward by creditors that would save the water company from being renationalised

  10. “South East Water faces £22m fine for supply failures.” And who exactly in the end pays this fine? #Water #Ofwat #Privatisation

  11. Dirty #water, #death, decline in England

    #England remains an anomaly in the world, as only country apart from Chile where #water is owned by #private #companies for #profit

    Then #Conservative PM, #Thatcher, promised in 1989 privatisation would deliver higher investment

    In 2002, ministers were warned in a report, which remained secret, privatisation allows private equity funds to load companies with debt, & regulator #Ofwat would lose regulatory control

  12. Email #Ofwat - the public have said NO to illegal #sewage until 2040

  13. “Only one company, Severn Trent, achieved full marks. It did so despite having been responsible for 62,085 sewage spills, averaging seven hours each, in 2024.” #Ofwat may need to raise its standards! #Water #Privatisation

  16. “Millions of households face jump in water bills after regulator backs more price rises.” To be fair the regulators when their time is up will be looking for plum jobs in the water industry. #Privatisation the gift that keeps on giving! #Water #Ofwat

  17. “English water companies have spent £16.6m fighting legal action against regulators and campaigners over environmental breaches such as illegal sewage spills.” Tsch! tsch! campaigners and regulators! Set the legal dogs on them. We can afford it. It’s the punters money. #Water #Pollution #Capitalism #Ofwat

  18. “Ofwat chief executive to step down ahead of regulator’s abolition.” Will he get a plum job with a water company for being a good boy? #Water #Privatisation #Ofwat

  19. So who here thinks the 'new opportunities' that David Black will be pursuing having resigned from being Head of OFWAT will include either joining the board(s) of water & sewage firms or offering expensive consultancy to these firms (possibly via an existing services firms)?

    We can be sure however, that he will fail upwards.
