Three water companies fined a total of ยฃ168m for failing to upgrade or maintain their networks. The interests of water companies (maximising profit) and those of the public (clean water) are fundamentally not aligned. Privatised monopolies don't work! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/โ€ฆ

Last year, untreated sewage was pumped into English waters for over 3.6 million hours, a direct result of underinvestment. I'm hosting a Parliamentary drop-in for MPs to learn about our broken water system. Ask your MP to be there on September 10th โฌ‡๏ธ actionnetwork.org/letters/ask-yoโ€ฆ
