Advantages: we all need water Disadvantages: high price
...Any water company is another way to get money.
As the water we drink and use day in and day out comes from the sky (bet you didn’t know that)
But we have to pay for a natural resource.
I know you should have to pay not that we all like to.
But you have to pay to use water and then you have to pay to get rid of it.
Where I live my monthly water bill is around £22 a month, which over a year is about £264.
That is a lot to pay for a natural resource, I know it includes sewage charges but still.
Anyway now that I have had a moan hear are the facts about southwest water.
SWW is bringing water services into the 21st century - putting right a century of neglect in water and sewerage provision.
We're top of the class - as the South West now has more miles of Class A rivers than any other English region.
This is a thanks...

It supplies water to 8 million plus people and is regulated by OFWAT.
In 2005, it was ordered to repay £4m back to customers for over-charging. Further fraud investigations and fraud allegations and substantial fines have followed.
