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? |

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. These criminals need to be tortured to death. You are deluded. Try watching it in wide screen it will seem better. Is their a list of their identies anywhere? Or are they in hiding? Freely available - they are public listed companies. Now go and obsess about something else. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

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. HTH Derek |

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? f Gaz |

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 profiteering from a monopoly - but them what else did you expect? 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? |

It's well worth doing, imho. Watch out for shared supplies though. It isn't always practical to fit the meter inside the house and a fair number of older terraced houses (including mine) have water supplies that separate *after* the main stopcock. At my last place the meter was shared with the family of 4 living next door. They were paying rates and I was paying for a meter. Got a bit expensive (nearly £90/month at one point) until I wrote to Yorkshire Water and asked them to investigate just before I moved out. mh. -- http://www.nukesoft.co.uk http://personal.nukesoft.co.uk From address is a blackhole.

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! |

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. -- Peter I'm an alien email: home at peteward dot gotadsl dot co dot uk I think his portrayal of zombie lust and carnal desires is by far the most sensitive of the genre. - N Jill Marsh |
