URGENT: Ask your MP to STOP water bill rises.
Ask your MP to ensure that the Government does not approve Ofwat’s water bill increases, until all criminal investigations of water companies are completed, and the government has fully investigated water company finances.
Today Ofwat has reneged on its previous promise that customers will not pay twice, hiking our bills to bail out water companies who have asset stripped our water infrastructure for profit.
Even though we are already paying bills on a par with the most expensive places in Europe, whilst getting one of the worst services, Ofwat has decided we must send good money after bad and pay more.
Every water company in England is failing its performance targets, and every water company is under criminal investigation by the regulators. Water companies have failed to maintain our sewage infrastructure, have failed to protect our rivers, lakes and seas, and have, in a really predictable safe environment of a monopoly industry, landed us with extraordinary debt to service their profit.
The Sewage Campaign Network, is calling for the government to stop the bill rises and suspend Ofwat's price review until water companies are fully compliant with the law, are meeting their performance targets and the government's review of water industry finances is complete.
Please support us by emailing your MP to oppose these bill increases and demand change. Fill in your postcode, and a letter will be automatically populated for you to send.
