If OfWat is supposed to be securing the water supplies for consumers through its regulation of the sector, then its hard to square that with the impoverishment of said consumers.... but if course the consumers OfWat is concerned by are not the real consumers struggling to pay their bills but the theoretical consumers in their economic modelling....

Its just one more area of the UK's governance which is (once you get behind the guff) is inhumane!

Yesterday, a major march in London aimed to put more pressure on the Govt. to deal more quickly & more extensively with the crisis in England provided water sector.... will they respond with further action(s)?

I'm not holding my breath.... without the closure & reconfiguration of OfWat alongside re municipalisation of the water sector, resolution of the crisis looks unlikely, and its not clear Labour has an appetite for either!
