Serious water pollution incidents up 60% in #England, Environment Agency says
Esme Stallard, July 18, 2025
Excerpt: "Every year the Environment Agency records the number of times pollution such as untreated sewage is released from water company sites such as treatment works into the country's waterways.
Just three companies were responsible for the vast majority of the most serious incidents - #ThamesWater (33), #SouthernWater (15) and #YorkshireWater (13).
" 'These figures expose a brutal truth. Serious #pollution incidents are rising, #sewage discharges remain rampant, and our rivers are spiralling toward #EcologicalCollapse. This is not just regulatory failure; it is a national disgrace,' said #RiverAction CEO James Wallace."
Water pollution has gone up 60% Fergal Sharkey, said. ....
"The ea demanded that by 2025 water companies should have cut sewage by 40%, instead Southern Water against the 2016 baseline, has increased sewage by 400%. What happened? The chief executive got his pay packet doubled. #ThamesWater sewage increase was 230% chief ex gets paid £1million, shareholders £2.5million in bonuses. G'ment has lost control of this."
He goes on. .....

£18.5 bonuses essential for 21 Thames Water Senior Staff to ‘retain talent’
It is not just the greed, and the arrogance, but the delusions that these senior staff deserve bonuses - let alone employment that leaves me gobsmacked.
Seem to be a lot of bust water mains in South London all of a sudden, but I'm sure our privatised infrastructure is ready for Climate Change, for sure, the Shareholders wouldn't let us down? /s
This really screwed up the traffic yesterday, maybe we should bill Thames Water for the mess?

Instead of maintaining infrastructure, funds went to Shareholders and Bosses. And now we have things like this...

according to the radio news, people will be banned from washing their cars with a hosepipe, but professional car wash things can continue to waste water. How about a ban on all car washing? Let them eat dirt! also, renationalise #ThamesWater! #bancars #hosepipeBan

Thames Water paid almost £2.5m to senior managers from an emergency loan that was meant to be used to keep the failing utilities company afloat – and has refused to claw back the payments.
The managers are due to receive the same amount again in December, and a further £10.8m collectively next June.
Nationalise Thames Water now.
The burst water main that's been reducing water pressure to a trickle in OX3, OX4, and OX33 in @oxford. The A40 cycle track is closed near Old Marston, at the end of Mill Lane.
I spoke to one of the crew working on it, and he said they're hopeful of getting it up and running again by morning, but also that they're planning on working on it overnight. Bottled water at Thornhill Park and Ride if it's not fixed.

The environment secretary, Steve Reed, has said the government is stepping up preparations for temporary nationalisation of #ThamesWater, indicating it will reject pleas from the company’s creditors for leniency from fines and penalties
Ofwat should have to approve water firms’ bonuses and dividends, say MPs https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/16/ofwat-should-have-to-approve-water-firms-bonuses-and-dividends-say-mps #Waterindustry #Environment #ThamesWater #Business #England #UKnews #Water
Manipulating the market
I was unaware that a ‘vulture’ funds bought into Thames at 60%
The market value of the debt is already implying 30% writedowns. Some of the opportunistic vulture funds are thought to have got in at as low as 60p in the pound; Reed and Ofwat, the water regulator for England and Wales, would look like fools if they approved, in effect, hefty day-one paper profits for them.
"The creditors have requested that Ofwat set Thames Water lower environmental standards – and even for it to let the water company off without fines"
How much more shit do we have to put up with...!
Nationalise #ThamesWater NOW
