Re: What drought, water water everywhere....
The water companies have already charged customers for the water which leaks out of the pipes & when Ofwat have ordered the water companies to reduce their leakage rates by only 1.5% by 2015 the whole setup stinks.
There is no real water shortage just waste by the water companies who usually have to pump from rivers to fill their raw water storage reservoirs which in turn drags down water levels in the main rivers and all their tributaries.
Where I live,Ofwat have deemed it is OK to waste 60 million litres per day from the water supply network,every day all year long - disgraceful is an understatement.
