Isn't it weird that they omit the most important reason, namely "We spent all our money on shareholder dividends and directors' bonuses rather than investing in a resilient water supply, so suck it up, plebs"

Email from #SouthEastWater to say that they're ramping up prices by an average of 20%.
"We've calculated that your monthly usage will be £X"
"We're therefore changing you monthly DD payment to £X plus 25%"
Wankers.
I've reset the monthly payment to the minimum they allow, which is still £X plus 12.5%
Never accept the increase to your monthly payment these bastards (and that includes the energy companies too) propose.
When I changed the figure I got a warning that it would "take 12 months to 'chip away' at your balance". So what? My balance is currently well in credit. I'd like the money to be in my account not your overpaid directors'.

South East Water has removed the hosepipe ban in #Kent and #Sussex in the UK.

What is odd here, is that it's now the 9th when they sent the email out but the web page says from the 4th of August
