Petition Prohibit hosepipe bans and impose new levies and oversight on water companies

We want the Government to:

- Ban hose pipe bans, with fines and refunds for customers where a ban is imposed
- Introduce an environmental levy for water companies
- Increase oversight of water company infrastructure
- Increase taxes on the profits of water companies

More details

Water companies:

- don’t adequately build and maintain the infrastructure needed
- pump waste into our seas and rivers
- make money through house build developments

We believe at present water companies make too much money, and make irresponsible and poor choices that harm people's lives. We want the Government to implement the above reforms to improve things for the public.
