Is Thames Water about to collapse?

If there weren't so many leaks the reservoirs wouldn't get low enough to impose a hosepipe ban.

Privatisation of water happened in 1989.

Guess how many new reservoirs have been built in England in that time?

None.

Ask the water companies about supply security and they love talking about fixing leaks, because that's a lot cheaper for them to do than actually increasing storage capacity in line with population growth.

I'd need convincing of the inclusion of the word "gradually" and omission of the term "expropriation".
