Failing Thames Water needs to get a grip

EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Failing Thames Water needs to get a grip  

Responding to Thames Water outages across south west London and Surrey, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey MP said: 

"Thousands of households across South London and Surrey waking up this morning with no running water is yet another example of Thames Water failing its customers.

"Thames Water is already the worst water company in England and Wales for leaky pipes - losing an average of 592 million litres every single day. Meanwhile, 28% of customers' bills goes straight to servicing the company's debt, not fixing the crumbling infrastructure that is now failing them.

"The final whistle needs to be blown on Thames Water, and Burnham needs to get a grip."
