    Southern Water knew about this 2 weeks ago.
    If that was a member of the public fly-tipping plastic on the beach they would be arrested.
    Southern Water will not change it's behaviour until one of its board is charged and in court.
    Shameful.

  6. Serious water pollution incidents up 60% in #England, Environment Agency says

    Esme Stallard, July 18, 2025

    Excerpt: "Every year the Environment Agency records the number of times pollution such as untreated sewage is released from water company sites such as treatment works into the country's waterways.

    Just three companies were responsible for the vast majority of the most serious incidents - #ThamesWater (33), #SouthernWater (15) and #YorkshireWater (13).

    " 'These figures expose a brutal truth. Serious #pollution incidents are rising, #sewage discharges remain rampant, and our rivers are spiralling toward #EcologicalCollapse. This is not just regulatory failure; it is a national disgrace,' said #RiverAction CEO James Wallace."

  11. Southern Water water cut off incident covering large parts of Southampton, Romsey, Eastleigh and surrounding areas. Caused by a problem at Testwood Water Supply Works.

    Those on Southern Water's priority services register should get some bottled water delivered.

  12. And in the article below at the end it says to do with Southern Water:
    'Southern is majority owned by Macquarie- which has been criticised for its stewardship of Thames Water'.

    Could the fall of Thames Water have a knock on effect on Southern Water as a result of being majority owned by the steward of Thames Water?

  14. Although owing money is not illegal, I'm not comfortable with it. I am withdrawing payment for #southernwater wastewater services because I believe they have provided an unacceptable service, but that is also uncomfortable for me; unless I can justify it.

    I've now written to Southern Water with, what I believe, is a valid, legal justification for withdrawing payment.

    I'm now content to use this in defence of any County Court Claim from SW.

  18. I have now complained about #SouthernWater charges for #wastewater in my April 2024 bill.

    I have referenced The Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.
    In particular:

    8(1)(a) "he knowingly or recklessly engages in a commercial practice which contravenes the requirements of professional diligence under regulation 3(3)(a)."

  19. The first #SouthernWater bill I refused to pay was in Oct 2023.
    I used the template complaint letter provided by boycottwaterbills.com/.

    I exhausted SW's complaint process in December and was referred to the Consumer Council for Water. CCW refused to adjudicate, claiming my dispute was out of scope, and suggested contacting the Environment Agency.

    Long story short: SW decided my dispute was resolved and referred me to a debt collection agency. I bottled it and paid up.
