Having lived in their catchment, I cannot echo this sentiment more strongly. In a sane country their entire senior management cohort would be hauled before Parliament to explain the amount of human shit in the Thames, and why their bosses keep getting paid enormous bonuses despite this. Absolutely crooked industry, I'm fairly sure Thames Water could redirect the sewage they're currently pumping into the river into Ofwat's boardroom and they'd at worst get away with a slap on the wrist and 'boys will be boys'. Absolutely pathetic, and the whole thing stinks of corruption as well as sewage.
Yeah, having lived in a Thames Water area, and with the absolutely garbage water quality, and pretty consistent 2-6×/yr loss of service because of shit infrastructure, and constantly insane price increases. Now live in Scotland, quality is peak, haven't had a single loss of service in 4 years. Idk.... almost feels like maybe something like water and sewage shouldn't be privatised.....🤷🏾♂️
