I bet they’ll still post massive profits
Wut 😮
I want to know what valve it is.
Third world problems.
What about animals been rescued in Brazil who give a toss about uk water its all got sewage in it theres no life in the uk rivers anymore
Bet it’s sabotage by the Russians or Chinese!!
Are they not ,The parasite outbreak.
The parasite outbreak occurred at Privatisation.
"A damaged valve"? What kind of valve? A backflow prevention valve?
They are going to lose a lot of customers because of this. 100s of people have already switched to Yorkshire Water and some might even consider Scottish water. Market forces will kick in and punish them for their neglect.
So it everywhere !!!!! What's really going on ! Valves have back flow val
I live in East Devon and god forbid this occurs over this side of the Exe.
