Water management in dry weather

Posted by Brian on 29/5/2025, 1:54 pm

We have water companies telling us to use less whilst putting up bill, yet since privatisation no new reservoirs have been built but 25 have been sold off by the water companies, so yet again it falls upon the public to bare the brunt of mismanagement and greed.

The Water Minister was asked 'Are you going to privatise the Water Companies' ? on TV today & she diverted the conversation from that as usual so no answer given.
She mentioned a couple of new reservoirs are planned for the UK.

The thing is the water companies should be picking up the cost of these, they sold off plenty.

There was an article in the paper this morning warning that in 2 areas of the UK there will be a water shortage in less than 10 years, the blame, I am afraid, is immigration, we are an island we can’t carry in forever.

The blame is the water companies selling off reservoirs.
