Default Time to hang the water regulators

and execute the water companies executives.
These criminals have incrceased the price of water faster than
the price of energy despite it falling out of the air.

These criminals need to be tortured to death.

Is their a list of their identies anywhere?
Or are they in hiding?

Untrue. Water has to be found, cleaned up to an increasingly high
standard, piped, pumped and stored. Water companies are also responsible
for clean bathing water at beaches, for removing and treating sewage;
the sewage is longer flushed out in the sea, it all has to be treated.
Look it up instead of saying that it just comes out of the sky.

No, it has increased slightly above the rate of inflation, but far less
than energy prices.

Freely available - they are public listed companies.

There is a seperate charge for sewage disposal, and every single drop
of piped drinking water has indeed fallen "Out of the air".

Yes and as it is metered the more they supply the more money they make,
yet they can have afford to have the **** ****ing out broken
pipes for months on end.

They should be made to pay the rate *they charge* us for the water
they waste. The leaks would be repaired over night if they had to do that.

I don't really want to join this discussion except to ask (as it came
up in't pub tonight) what the calorific value of a politician is?

Do you need anything special by way of flue to get rid of the exhaust?

Does anyone know where I can get a large pile of them at reasonable
rates?

Thanks.

No thats just where you are dead wrong.
The water is cleaner but it is not down to the water companies.
Ever seen a water company boat on you local river scrubbing the water?
No you fecking have not because they don't do it.

The reason why the water is cleaner is gue to anti-polution laws.
Firms can't just dump their **** in the local river any more.
Same goes for the quality of the rain, we don;t get acid rain anymore,
the rain that falls in my gutter is good enough to drink, better than the
****
from my water company.

So the arguement regardinig polutin works against te water companies, it
should cost less to treat the water than it ever did, most of it requires
no treatment at all, thats why they can pump water out of rivers, they could
not
do they before becasue it was too polluted.

So it's **** al to do with the way it is managed, it's down to criminals
profiteering from a monopoly - but them what else did you expect?

It still requires cleaning, I wouldn't drink river water unless it was
essential and had been boiled (it costs more to boil the water than to clean
it in the water works BTW).
The people down stream have better water of course.. its been filtered by a
million kidneys.

So it's **** al to do with the way it is managed, it's down to criminals

My water company was one of the cheapest and it has never been in public
ownership it has been a private company since the supply started. I wonder
what's forced them to build new plant and cost us more?

water rates are half what you suck, and half what you dump.

I THINK if you use a borehole and your own sewage treatment you dont pay

The Sunderland and Shields water company was set up after the cholera
epedemics in the 19thC. They were owned by the local authorities in
the area as limited companies. So private except they were owned by
the local ratepayers. Ted Heath nationalised them in the 70s when they
were incorporated into the northumbrian water authority then Thatcher
completed the theft by selling them to private buyers.

The stupidity is that when the water companies break the law they are
fined. This then generates higher water rates, so the consumer who is
being "protected" pays. What utter nonsense. The directors and managers
should be fined, after all it was they who committed the offence, as
part of the punishment their salaries/re numerations should be frozen
for five years. Oh dear, that's not right we would get no decent
management to join these companies!

To counter balance that however, the water companies got massive

The water companies are also having to make up for decades of chronic
underfunding while they were State owned. Essentially, we got stitched up
by the State who exported the problem to the private sector.


This strategy is now being reused by large financial institutions who are
busy exporting their problems back to the state.

Yes, its called 'PFI', ironically, of course, designed to do the opposite.

Default Time to hang the water regulators


The water companies were essential to the implementation of the anti
polution (sic) laws, and the vast improvements we have seen to our
environment.


That is complete ********. They they had nothing to do with the
laws, it was government anti polution laws which made the difference
and the water companies benefietef frmo the clearner water so their costs
should have dropped *dramatically*.

I THINK if you use a borehole and your own sewage treatment you dont pay
rates at all.
Do you have to pay sewerage rates if you have a septic tank?
No.

You used to. *And* pay to have the tank emptied. But that stopped some years
ago.


One does however have to pay an extraction licence if one takes water
from a borehole. Otherwise I'd be doing it since we have a good chalk
acquifer available.

The stupidity is that when the water companies break the law they are
fined. This then generates higher water rates, so the consumer who is
being "protected" pays. What utter nonsense. The directors and managers
should be fined, after all it was they who committed the offence, as
part of the punishment their salaries/re numerations should be frozen
for five years. Oh dear, that's not right we would get no decent
management to join these companies!


No change there, then.
