Review regulation of water companies

Petition Details

We want the Government to review regulation of water companies through Ofwat. We feel that Ofwat need stronger powers to stop any water bill hikes unless companies show service and environmental improvements.

Additional Information

We feel that water companies are increasing bills while reporting losses, paying high executive salaries, and failing to fix leaks and pollution. We think customers should not be forced to pay for this. We want the Government to review Ofwat's powers to block unfair bill hikes unless companies do more to prove service improvements, reduce pollution, and prioritise public investment over profits. We feel that stricter regulation is needed to protect consumers from unjustified price increases.
