Thousands of trees planted in Devon to improve water quality
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-67826768
Wonderful initiative, especially using a mix of native species. 🌳 🌳
However, this doesn't offset rogue sewage outfall, nor trees chopped down in towns and cities.

I live in Devon. I am under a hosepipe ban. My supplier (South West Water) is very kindly suggesting some "easy wins" for me to save water, like taking less time in the shower, or using my washing machine less. It reckons that this way my household could save 12 litres per person per day, for a total of 48 litres saved per day, or about 18,000 litres per year. Sounds like a lot, right?
Yeah. The thing is, South West Water (in common with the other privatised water companies) lost 90 *million* litres *per day* in leaks in the last year for which data are available (https://www.ofwat.gov.uk/publication/leakage-dataset-march-2023/). And even that is likely a significant under-estimate, because it's under investigation by the regulator on suspicion of mis-reporting its leak figures. It has also paid out £112M in dividends to shareholders this week, while kindly putting my bills up, so sorry, we need money for investment to stop dumping all this sewage we're dumping. Illegally.
My little 48 litres is a literal drop in the ocean. Why on Earth would I put myself out when it will make not a blind bit of difference to the water available for general use?
In absolute terms, 18kl per year feels like a lot, granted. But the sheer effrontery of coming to me effectively cap in hand while handing out an actual fortune to their shareholders makes me want to just leave all my taps running.
South-West Water: Take the beam out of your own eye. Fix your flood of leaks before you come asking me to inconvenience myself to save (relatively speaking) drops. You've got the money for it, or at least you did before you gave it to your shareholders. Scum.

Die Folgen der #Privatisierung der #Wasserversorgung. Kurz nach dem Parasitenausbruch in der Region #Devon erhöht #SouthWestWater die Dividendenausschüttung an die Aktionäre. 🤮
Wenn nur die Rendite zählt, leidet die Infrastruktur. Das ist reine Mathematik. "Die #Wasserprivatisierung war ein katastrophaler Misserfolg für dieses Land." https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/may/21/south-west-water-owner-service-dividend-devon #right2water #Menschenrecht -
Die #Privatisierung der #Wasserversorgung ist und bleibt eine 💩 Idee, denn dann heißt es: Profit first - sauberes Trinkwasser second. Diesmal geht es um #Parasiten im #Trinkwasser. "Am Mittwoch räumte #SouthWestWater schließlich ein, dass das #Wasser nicht trinkbar ist und dass #Kryptosporidien weit verbreitet sind. Davon sind 16.000 Haushalte in der Region betroffen." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/983e0807-bdae-4d76-b667-f08d466906c2?shareToken=bcfbebffc83e70ca50952237fe45fdc7 #right2water

In #England & #Wales '#WaterCompanies are unlawfully dumping raw #sewage into our waters, forcing swimmers across the country to lose their right to swim.
Jo Bateman is one of those swimmers. We’re supporting her to take legal action against #SouthWestWater.
Jo’s swims have become frequently disrupted by unlawful sewage spills so she’s decided to take legal action for everyone who wants to protect their right to swim.'

I *think* this was meant to be an assurance, that became contaminated, and is now just a shitty excuse.
