We are Thames Water customers who refuse to pay part or all of our bills. Doing so hastens the day when Thames Water will be back in public ownership. See https://boycottthameswater.org/advice-for-boycotters/ for contact details and tips on boycotting.

Water bills for England households to rise even higher.

Bills already up by 36%. Competition regulator permits another 1%-5%, £556m hike

No curbs on exec pay, dividends, sewage dumping as companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the Scam. Nationalise water
Five water firms provisionally allowed to raise bills by further 1% to 5%
An independent group appointed by the competition watchdog rejected nearly 80% of increases sought by companies.

Water bills = a tax on us collected by hedge fund profiteers while they wreck our water systems. 💩🤢💰💰💰Take back water Now 👏@weownit.org

WE are being forced to pay more for the privilege of being ripped off by water companies.

They've not invested. Instead they've taken out £80 billion in dividends and loaded up those companies with £70 billion in debt.

Now they are being allowed to hike our water bills.

Completely infuriating

Competition & Markets Authority said requests from 5 private water companies to increase bills AGAIN were "largely unjustified"

But your bills will still rise

This is all unjustified

There is no market, PUBLIC OWNERSHIP NOW

This is so wrong. Ministers should protect the public interest, not a handful of creditors clinging on to their bad investments

@ofwat.bsky.social and the government must prioritise households and the environment, cut Thames Water's debt in half right now with Special Administration

In December, Ofwat approved average bills going up 36% by 2030 - that's £597 a year.

🤑But for the water companies, that's not enough! Shareholders want more of your money, so they're appealing for even bigger bill increases.

END THE SCAM. Public ownership of water, starting with Thames Water.

Thames Water's bidders ask to be excused from fully complying with rules on pollution until 2035-40.

Rule of law?

Anything given to TW can't be denied to others. Sewage will be dumped. Customers will be fleeced. Returns will be extracted.

One law for corporations, another for lesser mortals.

⚠️Thames Water is in crisis.⚠️

Government still refuses to act to protect the public.

Emma Hardy MP has changed her tune since entering government.

Stop protecting the polluters and start representing the 82% of us who want water in public ownership. Sign our petition - take back Thames Water👇

⌛Time's running out for Thames Water.

The failing company will likely be put into a Special Administration Regime, a form of temporary nationalisation.

The government must then keep Thames in public hands.

Great support from @stevewitherdenmp. Get your MP to sign the pledge today 👇

Dear Ofwat

Thames Water doesn't have a leg to stand on, do not budget an inch

If the creditors don't like what you're offering, it's time for Special Administration and PERMANENT public ownership
(normal in 9/10 countries around the world)
