🚨 Thames Water calls it an "isolated spill". We call it what it smells like. 💩💩 Last week, water testing at Fulham Reach Boat Club found E. coli levels more than 58 TIMES higher than the Environment Agency's threshold for safe bathing water. 🤢 Water companies are only supposed to discharge untreated sewage during periods of heavy rainfall. Yet the spills highlighted in this investigation happened during dry weather - raising serious questions about whether the law has been broken. Londoners deserve to enjoy their river without risking their health. Instead, we're seeing the consequences of years of regulatory failure, underinvestment, and a water company that continues to put financial interests ahead of people and the environment. Thames Water is no longer fit to run this essential public service. It's time to place the company into Special Administration so it can be restructured to serve the public interest, protect our rivers, and end the cycle of pollution before profit. #SewageScandal

Charlie Maynard, "Of the £1.4 billion going to Thames Water, £900 million is going out in interest expenses and advisors fees" "So little of this will fix the problem, it's just a fees fest" "Thames Water should be put in special administration, bankruptcy to you and I, so we can drop that debt, and address the real problems in our sewage network"

Jenny Jones, "We have torrents of sewage pouring into our rivers, onto our coastline, into our chalk streams. But instead of stopping it, this proposal aims to increase it" Jenny Jones "And instead of giving Ofwat tougher powers to regulate the water industry.. Ofwat are now being told that economic growth is more important than clean water" "Whenever this government does anything I always ask, who benefits? And who benefits here of course? Is Conservative party donors.. Developers who provided a third of Conservative party funds over the previous decade" "And what you mean by economic growth is the ability of developers to build cheap, sell high, and connect up a lot of new houses to sewage systems that can't even cope with existing demand, without emptying excess sewage into our local rivers and streams" "And the only way to ensure that new houses are connecting to a modern effective sewage system, is to have the public ownership of waterways" "The only way to ensure that our water bills are being used to build local sewers rather than off shore bank accounts, is to have people in charge who work for public good and not for private greed"

Nish Kumar, "What is the Green Party's vision for how we redraw the economy of this country?" Zack Polanski, "We need to have a conversation about privatisation, the water companies are the most obvious ones" "It's often talked about, that taking water into public hands would be an experiment. It's completely the other way round. Privatisation was the experiment" "And privatisation has utterly failed" "Whether we're talking about the movement of council homes to private landlords. Or water companies who took our water infrastructure with £0 debt and now have £ billions in debt. They're pumping sewage into the water. And charging us extra for the privilege" "I want to lower people's bills. People in this country are tired and exhausted. Wages are not going up but bills are going up. We need to lower bills and raise wages" "One way to do this is to stop this exploitation of every single person in this country who uses a water company that has been sold off for private profit at our expense, and we're paying the consequences for that" "The first thing is to have a big conversation about public ownership" "Nothing we need, and need to use, should be in private hands. All of our utilities should be nationalised"

This is how our raw sewage is treated by our wastewater operators Approximately 34 billion gallons of wastewater and sewage gets treated every day in the United States There are city programs called ‘toilet-to-tap.’ Luckily only a small percentage of sewage wastewater is recycled back into drinking water Most treated wastewater is discharged into rivers, lakes or the ocean The good news is most drinking water in the United States comes from 2 main natural sources: surface water and groundwater Surface water like lakes, rivers, reservoirs, streams account for about 70%+ of public drinking water supplies

Emma Hardy, "I cannot believe that I am about to say this, but after 14 long years of Conservative rule. In 21st century Britain, our water is no longer safe to drink" "This crisis is theirs.. They were the ones who weakened regulation leaving our Victorian era sewage system starved of investment. They turned a blind eye and let water companies illegally pump a tidal wave of raw sewage into our rivers lakes and seas"

It Wasn’t Enough For Mexico To Just Send America Tens Of Millions Of Illegal Immigrants 14.5 Billion Gallons Of Raw Sewage Has Just Flowed Into America From Mexico “A Public Health Ticking Time Bomb — Polluting Our Air & Water” “This week's storm sent more than 14.5 billion gallons of untreated raw sewage into California from Mexico. Levels, officials say, have never been seen before. It is massive. It's unlike anything we've seen. It's a sea of of of trash. Acres of plastic bottles, containers, tires, and sewage are currently sitting in the Tijuana River Valley. All of it will eventually end up in our ocean, leaving those who live nearby feeling the impact. I'm more frustrated than ever since we found out that The it goes into the air, so it's not just the water. We know that the public health aspect of this Crisis is what's the most concerning out of everything that we're being hit with. The storm dumped so much water, it was powerful enough to move this dumpster. More than 14,000,000,000 gallons of sewage flow straight into San Diego County according to the International Boundary and Water Commission. I've never seen it flooded the way the Ticana River Valley is flooded right now or the amount of trash or sewage that has Come across the border. The sewage has plagued South Bay communities like Imperial Beach, which has seen never ending beach closures. Mayor Paulo Magire says the crisis is at a critical level. This is a public health ticking time bomb, and it affects us tremendously economically. It also affects our environment. Aguirre says She's disappointed with the lack of help from the state of California and the federal government. There's nowhere else in this country where we see Billions of gallons of sewage permeating our air and our water. We should treat this as if our very Children were living here in this area. The mayor's heading to the nation's capital next week, where she'll lead a bipartisan delegation and meet with Key house officials to request additional funding in a state of emergency declaration.“

A new public fountain has appeared in central London, but look closer & you’ll see that it’s a actually a fountain of filth. The water is black, the human victims of the sewage crisis are vomitting streams of liquid, whilst surmounted by a smug water executive with a briefcase stuffed with cash. The fountain commemorates one of the biggest environmental crimes in British history, where water companies stole tens of billions of pounds that was supposed to be spent on our sewage system, gave it to shareholders and executives and illegally poured billions of lites of sewage into our rivers, lakes and seas instead. The channel 4 docudrama about the sewage crisis, #dirtybusiness, starts at 9pm tonight. Watch it, get sad, get angry and then join the thousands of people around the country demanding an end to the sewage crisis.

NEWSFLASH: Justice for the River Evenlode. Evenlode Catchment Partnership gives back £135,957 of Thames Water's filthy blood money. Amazing bravo, bravo 👏👏👏 It's a sleazy old tactic employed by water companies for decades, donate money to local charities and community groups to shut them up. It's bribery, it's hush money, it's blood money, it's used to quell local anger about the state of rivers and to deflect attention and away from dealing with what's really killing our rivers, over abstraction and pollution. The Evenlode Catchment Partnership has had enough. They're not going to be used anymore as a means to achieving Thames Water's aims, not actually trying to save the river so they've given back £135,957.04 of Thames Water's filthy lucre. 💩💩💩 So who's next? Who's the next river charity, community group that's going to refuse to be complicit in destroying our rivers? Who's next to refuse the water industry's blood money? Who's next to step up and really fight for our rivers not just be bought of? Are you up to it?

THE WATER RIP-OFF IS NOT ADDING UP. Barry Gardiner MP has exposed the great trick at the heart of Labour’s position on water. Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds says bringing water back into public ownership would cost an “enormous amount of money”. But when challenged, her department’s own response admitted it has not assessed the cost of continuing with privatisation against the cost of public ownership. Read that again. The Government insists public ownership is too expensive, while refusing to do the maths needed to prove it. Water is a natural monopoly. People cannot shop around for a better pipe to their home. Yet billpayers are trapped in a system where their money must cover not only clean water, functioning infrastructure and sewage treatment, but the financial interests of private owners, creditors and shareholders. Public ownership is not some wild luxury. It is common sense. Remove the need to extract profit from an essential service and put billpayers’ money back into pipes, reservoirs, sewage works and lower bills. The question is no longer whether the privatised water model has failed. We can see and smell that failure in our rivers and on our beaches. The question is why a Labour Government is defending it without even calculating the public alternative. Come clean, Secretary of State. Publish the full comparison. Let the public see who this broken system is really serving. Labour Heartlands #LabourParty #PublicOwnership
