I'd love to hear more from caller Mark about this, he's clearly very knowledgeable about the subject.

Seize back control of water, including treatment. Just like power, and trains. Should all be nationalised and invested in by government. Raise money through fair taxation.

I cannot see how you could criminalise this unless people die through the negligence of the company. Directors and executives of privately owned companies have a fiduciary duty to act in the interests of the company and its sharholders. Thus they need to provide value to shareholders through dividends and share value. To stop this you either have to: Nationalise the company; or Impose penalties that are heavy enough to cause a shareholder revolt due to dividends not being paid or the collapse of the share value.either of these situations are likely to result in shareholders fleeing the companyand/or creditors calling in their loans.

Since water is essential for healthy life, water companies should either be run by the state and if not, they should be regulated more then most other businesses and be under criminal law if water is not safe for consumption.

This CANNOT be allowed to continue. Customers need to withhold payment until they clean up their act OR Government needs to take the companies back into public ownership and claw back the dividends. This is outrageous behaviour from the government and the privatised water companies and it needs to stop and there must be punishment.

Still the most brazen part of it was the official response of the water company “the water is fine so keep drinking it” before doing any checking to make sure what they were saying was even true. Imagine something worse got through, and they just kept saying “it’s all fine” That’s just companies all over these days. Respond first, check later.
