The water companies were privatised in 1981 so the majority of those years where the issue hasn't been address was when they were a private entity (either 83% or 66% of the time depending on if you use 40 or 50 years).

If you want to remove Corporations from exploiting essential services the government or power structures in place ain’t gonna do it (Hell, they skipped along with privatisation in the first place). The only language these pricks understand is money. Voting with your wallet is a personal and fairly easy way to protest. Like we’re (hopefully) about to do with out energy bills in October because SPOILER ALERT energy should be in public control too. |  |
