England sewage spills nearly halved in 2025 due mostly to drier weather Water companies said the country was also seeing the effect of greater infrastructure investment.

2/2. Water companies continue to cash in, while rivers, coasts and wetlands pay the price.

We need real investment, real accountability, and public money spent on clean water, NOT lining investor pockets.

When this business model damages the country so badly and involves a key national utility why does government allow it? #KeirStarmer #EmmaReynolds #Ofwat #Water #PrivateEquity #business #EndSewagePollution

Just received our Thames Water bill. It is almost a thousand pounds! £913.89 this year!😠
It's an absolute scandal. Why are we paying the dividends of others for polluting our waters?! It feels like robbery #EndSewagePollution

Dirty water, death and decline: the inside story of a privatisation scandal There is no end in sight to the pollution caused by a ‘broken’ system. Experts say it could even be getting worse

Interesting read, it’s baffling that the uk persists as 1 of 2 countries in the world with private system. No clear reasons provided why government resists nationalisation. #nationalisewater #endsewagepollution

💷 £10 million upgrade. Zero improvement.😡

Last week, #citizenscientist Angela Jones recorded the highest pollution levels ever at the Usk sewage treatment works.👇

THIS is why citizen science matters. An “upgrade” that entrenches pollution is NOT progress.

Now they want to hike our water bills, backed by the regulator.

Meanwhile they hand out token donations to local groups to distract from their sewage scandal. PR over protection.

Thames Water renationalisation plans being stepped up, says minister Environment secretary indicates that calls from creditors for leniency from fines and penalties will be rejected

Why 'temporary nationalisation'?

It should be permanent and irreversible!

Thames Water issues hosepipe ban for 1.1m people The water company says a lack of rain and increasing demand has stretched its supplies.

"To help protect our rivers [...] we need to bring in a hosepipe ban."

Irony overload here #ThamesWater? Given the frequent raw sewage discharges into #RIVERTHAMES from WWT centres, when it rains, or simply from broken outdated infrastructure.

💧 Today, the Water Commission drops its final report. We’re one of 37 organisations calling on Keir Starmer and Steve Reed to fix the broken system flooding our waters with sewage.

It is time to change the water industry!
