Since 2021, on 362 occasions, water in England and Wales was flagged as unfit for human consumption, with only three companies prosecuted. Companies have been accused of profiteering, failing to invest, abusing people, extracting dividends, dumping sewage, and rewarding executives, while regulators are seen as complicit. Thames Water faces criticism for lack of accountability and governance that prioritizes customers and community interests. Northumbrian Water has been blamed for environmental damage to the coastline, with political figures attributing the issue to inadequate oversight. The public is calling for the next UK Prime Minister and Government to address the ongoing sewage dumping by water firms.
After years of water firms dumping BILLIONS OF LITRES of raw sewage we’re all sick of it. The next PM and Government need to clean up the mess we’re in and stop the sewage! Add your name now https://t.co/EyLT61h1vA
Toronto's cleanest beach is in the process of being made toxic by Therme so we're swimming in the Inner Harbour now. I think they want to deliberately poison our water to stop people from swimming so they can sell more pool passes. Google "ensewage". https://t.co/tjKfEwS1YW https://t.co/lBYYwGzvW2
Atrocious that Northumbrian Water has been allowed to poison our gorgeous coastline like this. The Tories have allowed this practice to go unchecked and it is our environment that is paying the price 🌊☢️ https://t.co/sV4GgOfXKA
😠Another day, another reason not to trust Thames Water. They must be held to account. And for that accountability to be meaningful, governance must include experts with local knowledge who put the interests of customers and community first. https://t.co/DkpO8yW36E
