I'm still waiting to be able to change my water company - as promised by
their privatisation. When's that due ?

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.


A national water grid has been looked at many times.


I believe its always been scuppered by pumping costs. Water companies are
already one of the biggest consumers of electricity in the country.
