That was never offered with privatisation. You had the option to go onto
metered water and pay for what you actually use. You can always go off
grid, with your own well and private sewage treatment works, as some
rural folks have to.

There cannot be an option to switch suppliers without a National water
grid, which will never happen.

That's about how the utility is delivered, which is the same with
electricity and gas.

Competition is between the people who send out the bills.

Err, no. With gas and electricity all the inputs are fed into
the respective grid system. The users all tap into these two
grid systems. The gas and electrons could have come from anywhere
on the grid.

How would a water grid change things?
