Rejected petition We need the water company's to be better regulated

Consumers are facing big price rises for what they pay for their water supply. Some of the water company's are paying out huge sums in dividends to shareholders, big bonuses and salaries to senior management. It needs to end and end now.

More details

In my view OFWAT needs to be scrapped. If it is to be replaced it's replacement needs to hold the water company's to account.

If a water company is struggling financially it needs to be nationalised even if that means shares become worthless.

No more paying out of huge dividends to shareholders and rewarding failure

No more excessive salaries and bonuses for senior managers.

Laws need to be created to make it a criminal offence for water companies to dump raw sewage into waterways etc
