| Privatisation was supposed to be bring in lots of investment with the idea of the renewal of our Victorian water infrastructure which had been starved of money and desperately needed updating. Only of course the idea of privatisation is also to earn money for the shareholders. We still have a great deal of the Victorian infrastructure and as one bit is mended it tends to put pressure on another bit which then fails so they often seem to end up back again to make mend another bit of pipe. Just one hole causes a lot of fuss so just imagine the fuss and bother when the pipes down a whole main road are are being replaced. When it was state owned the Govt put restrictions on the Water Board borrowing to improve the infrastructure. As it is it would be better if we had separate rainwater and sewage pipes so that there weren't problems with sudden excessive rainfall we are now experiencing. For several years I also don't believe there were any dividends paid to Thames Water shareholders but then if they keep on being fined they will be having to find that money from somewhere too. |
