we all pay water rates or water meters so we should all expect safe clean water and for problems to be sorted quickly .

From 2010 to 2015 UU have spent £3,600,000,000 on replacing old pipes, improving water quality, sewage quality, sea water quality etc. That's a few water bills spent!
The Franklaw plant is now supplying clean water but there are 2,500 miles of pipes to flush out, some of them 3 or 4 feet in diameter.. That will only happen as the customers run it off although how they'll check if each customers supply is clear I don't know.
And no, I haven't got shares in UU, but they're spending a lot more than the local water boards ever spent.
