"Water firms are planning new price rises for customers, Ofwat chief warns as he says Thames Water customers won't have to cover cost if firm collapses."

@Ofwat have to approve any rise, will they?

40%? What the hell has @Ofwat been doing last 30 years?

"Thames Water fined £3.3m after rivers turn black with sewage killing 1,400 fish."

You'd think at some point the idea would sink in but no, too greedy, too complacent, too stupid and I'm not sure if I'm talking about @thameswater or the regulator @Ofwat.

"Over 100 busloads of toxic poo are produced by factory farms in the UK every hour. With soils saturated, this ends up washing into rivers, suffocating wildlife"

@hugorifkind Putting up interest rates, doesn’t put up rents. That is down to number of tenants wanting property to let. That said, lots of landlords selling up, due to change in regs. So supply falling, and rents going up!

[Merry Albright @MerryAlbright]

All good - but we also have highly protected fresh water catchments of international calibre, such as the Lugg & Wye, that have been utterly tanked despite their protections. I’m a bit worried that ‘highly protected’ might not mean very much and will protect even less.

"How the High Court could bring a quick end to sewage pollution

A judicial review could force water companies to end sewage spills immediately and without charging customers,"

Hands up anyone who would not like to see that outcome?

If Isabel is this dim, imagine how accurate her political views are.

[Adam Vaughan @adamvaughan_uk]

.@ZacGoldsmith said Sunak was apathetic towards the environment

Bloomberg reports that Sunak's team is considering scrapping rules to protect rivers from nutrient pollution

Dropping water protections to appease housebuilders looks less like apathy and more like hostility

@AfonyddCymru @ceh @ep_wales @BenWilsNRW @olylowe Total phosphorus or phosphate? The former, along with nitrate, ammonia, calcium and sunlight, drives algal blooms, but only a fraction of the 'P' (phosphate) is measured by EA and NRW.

"Britain's water companies sitting on debt timebomb - with more than half of industry's £65bn mountain linked to inflation."

For those complaining about loosing their investment two words, due diligence.

What bit of debt mountain did you not understand?

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

Repeat after me "sewage dumping is illegal 'outside of exceptional situations'".

In 2009 just 25% of England's rivers were in 'Good' ecological condition, according to @DefraGovUK's latest estimate by 2027 that number will have plummeted to 6%

That's everything you need to know

[David Revill @revill_david]

@DaveThroup Ah, that will be us the tax payers I suspect. Another totally avoidable waste of tax payers money. Sadly, in public ownership, the treasury will oversee investment….so that’s not a lot better.

Like a car crash in slow motion…
☠️ £ billions stripped out in dividends by investors in recent years
☠️ 25% of water lost each year in leaks
☠️ 68,000 hrs of raw sewage discharged last year into Thames
☠️ Company now facing insolvency

"Blackpool swimmers still urged to avoid sea as tensions grow following sewage spill."

Reminder 1 month ago @unitedutilities paid shareholders a £300m dividend and £30m in salary and bonuses to their previous CEO and people can't swim in the sea.
