Have signed your petition and forwarded the email to others who will be interested. Meanwhile, South East Water is doing exactly what it was designed to do. It has paid its chief exec £400,000 in salary, £170,000 bonus and generous dividends to shareholders. Providing clean water is a means to an end – not a primary objective.
Repeated failure of private water companies to do what they are paid for damages public health and confidence in the Government. Take South East Water into public ownership and save individuals and companies a fortune.
Yes - OF COURSE ALL the privatised water companies should be back in public ownership!! - with a considerable bonus to the taxpayer to say ‘thank you’?!!
Water is so basic to all our lives. Rivers and dams for storage need protection and heavy fines for those polluting. The water companies; private companies running these water systems are not what we need! The ‘ proof of the pudding. Etc…’ we see now. They are making a great deal of money out of the nations right to have clean and affordable water.💧
I’m all for responsible ownership of our utilities but I think we should ensure that the private companies pay for the damage from not reinvesting into the system otherwise we continue to pay for a problem we didn’t make. And we’d pay double or more…
The failure of SEW to invest for the future is absurd; this failure has not only deprived current customers of potable water it will do the same again for future customers

Disgusting how its chef exec receives such a huge salary, share holders get richer and the quality of water is rotten.
