How can this go on when wages are not rising to offset such large increases?
The majority of the nation would support nationalising the water companies, but Keir still won’t consider it. Why? Because he’s in their pockets like all politicians.
This really isn’t news anymore. Water bills seem to rise every other week. Getting pretty boring now.
The perfect business model:
– do nothing for decades, be at the bottom of stats on per-mile infrastructure renewal, repair, not to mention reservoirs etc.
– keep increasing bills and pay dividends to (foreign) investors,
– then blow up the bills even more with the whining about the cost of… investing in the infrastructure.
i USE 4 cubic litres a month. My usage has not changed. My bill has gone from 22 pounds a month to 52 pounds a month. Seriously had enough.
Ah lovely, an 8% increase following the 47% increase last year. Thanks Southern Water.
This is the first time I’m happy to be in the exact position I’m in. I’ve not paid them in at least 3 years, I rack up debt, they can take me to court and make me pay £5-6 a month but it would be more expensive for them.
They know I owe them, I get the same letter every month but it only ever says £32.54, I’d love to know what it really is!
But remember it can’t be nationalised because….something……something.
Good. More investment is needed after a decade of starvation.
Mine went up by 73% last yea boe it’s going up again.
Didn’t the government recently announce they’re going to let water companies off a bunch of fines? It’s almost as if the prices keep going up regardless of how much money they make or how much shady stuff they do 🤔
An actual license to steal being a water supply company in the UK.

So a 5% rise then.
