This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The payment of dividends is a matter for individual companies, not the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a new petition calling for a windfall tax to be introduced on the profits of water companies found not to be fixing leaks, if that's something that you'd like to see.

We currently have this petition open calling for water companies to be renationalised: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/620881
