E-coli found in Blackpool sea coast

With these water companies dumping raw sewage into our waters, is it really any surprise?
And it's not down to lack of funding either, they have the money to improve their infrastructure but they'd rather make lots of money for their shareholders.

They'll try to say that our bills will have to go up to improve things, bet ya. Because heaven forbid that they have to use their profits on their own business to improve their own infrastructure, when they've made billions every year.

I always considered whether water, gas and electricity should be nationalised.
Out of them all, I reckon the water should be.
Pollution of the environment must always be considered and if the companies can't stop it then the government should take away their profits full stop.

We do have and when they built Keilder they said it was a white elephant.
It wasn't and we have proved it time and again.
