[Closed] Hosepipe ban - what if there was a ban on electricity - bit of a rant TBH!

[i]as I said before perhaps UU are just rubbish [/i]

Yep, that's the ofwat perspective too. But then ofwat also said that UU have made the biggest investment in the last year to addressing the issue than any other water company and that perspective will be the same in their next review.
In a couple of years time UU will be the best performing water company because of their extremely aggressive approach to rectifying the issue, mark my words.

The problem is that water is too cheap at the moment - there is bugger all incentive to install rainwater tanks etc when potable water is 1p a litre.
