That could very easily be made more competitive by means of trading
disposal credits,

No, all you are doing is creating yet another bureaucratic machine, how
can
you swap providers other than laying new pipe ?!


It's perfectly simple. There is competition in the electricity and
gas supply industries which is achieved perfectly well without the
need for additional cable and pipework infrastucture.

The completing companies make it cheaper by virtually abandoning any
service. Try phoning them. They also survive by loans from their
customers. You have to be on direct debit and despite companies reading the
meters for them and supplying the reading, they ignore them and estimate the
bill way over, then adjust from one reading at the end of the year. They
use the customers for loans instead of banks. Appalling.
