Actually, I think they did build a load during the 90s and 00s, it's only since CCA 2008 that they haven't built any.
Water firms (again) to introduce 'Surge Pricing' in hot spells.

I've provided evidence of the lack of reservoirs built and others sold off, reducing the overall capacity.
Feel free to show me evidence of all those reservoirs built by the privatised industry increasing water volume capacity.

So a report written by Cambridge Water which contains leakage data collected by Cambridge Water isnt evidence??

Does the report compare us to other nations?
There will be leakage, it's how much and where we stand that is the question.

So millions of litres water lost is fine so long as it’s less than other nations.

Mid-table, with much of our infrastructure still from the 19th century, it's not exactly terrible, it it?

Carsington in Derbyshire was the last reservoir built in the UK. Completed in 1992.

I have big flower beds, fruit trees and bushes, 3 kids, two ponds that evaporate rapidly. Luckily I am supplied by Kielder and Derwent, which are huge reservoirs built for defunct Steel industry. My bills are lower than my mother in law who lives by herself and is house bound.

That's not evidence...
Lost mode off.
I repeat, 35 years with absolutely no investment in developing the infrastructure. Take, take, take. So yes, it is terrible.

How brave of the Yorkshire Water CEO to refuse a bonus.
Forgot to mention she got an unreported £1.3 million from the parent company...

And apparently that is a legal way of getting round the cap on bonuses.
