Scheme to Reduce your Thames Water Bill by 50%

[scifisam]

This is incorrect. There are price reviews every 5 years, bill profile modelling, fines and incentives across multiple areas of work.

I'm sure there are. Are you saying that, out of the goodness of their hearts, these privatised companies would charge less than the market can sustain and the law allows, if only it weren't for those pesky subsidies to disabled people?

It’s kind of difficult to respond to a comment like this.

Clearly what you are positing is quite a hefty distortion of what I have said. And you do of course know that this is not what I said or meant. If you do think that, that is your problem not mine.

Another way of thinking about it is that water companies have to balance all kinds of customers, including those that can afford it and pay, those that can afford it and wilfully do not pay, and those that are in financial difficulty and gain subsidies. Either through the Govt mandated WaterSure tariff or the Thames Water Charitable Trust.

All of the money they receive has to balance out and pay for the service they deliver. Which for most of the time isn’t a problem. You get as much clean water as you need, 99% of the time delivered to you. And they also manage all the infrastructure that takes away all the fats and nonsense that gets put down the sink and all the faeces and urine that flushed away in every home across London and surrounding regions every day.

Is maintaining a network like this a piece
of piss? Should it be free?

How much do you pay for your water each month?

I'm not sure how to respond either, since the way you're writing makes it seem like you've taken massive personal offence at the idea that private companies exist to make profit and price their products to make a profit. I never said any of the things you're imagining I said.
