THE COLD HARD FACTS

£7 BILLION

Paid out in dividends

Since privatisation, Thames Water has channelled over £7 Billion to shareholders while the infrastructure was left to rot. Now they claim they have no money to fix the leaks.

570 MILLION

Litres lost every single day

While they lecture you about your 4-minute shower, they are leaking enough water to fill hundreds of Olympic swimming pools daily. Your "waste" is a drop in their ocean of neglect.

£37 MILLION

Paid to executives

In the last five years, while sewage was pumped into our rivers, Thames Water bosses took home tens of millions. Your bills pay for life-styles, not our pipes.

£14 BILLION

Debt mountain

The company has been hollowed out. They borrowed billions not to build reservoirs, but to pay dividends. Now they want a taxpayer bailout.

THE SPY IN THE PIPE

In our opinion, smart meters aren't just about saving water—they are about monitoring and influencing usage. By tracking consumption down to the minute, this could allow them or others to profile household behaviour. This data could be used to adjust pricing and encourage certain patterns of usage.

"In our view, if they can measure it, they can influence behaviour inside your home. Do you really want this?"
