Water bills for England households to rise even higher.

Bills already up by 36%. Competition regulator permits another 1%-5%, £556m hike

No curbs on exec pay, dividends, sewage dumping as companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the Scam. Nationalise water

Five water firms provisionally allowed to raise bills by further 1% to 5%

An independent group appointed by the competition watchdog rejected nearly 80% of increases sought by companies.
