That’s the Welsh water model but still has major issues. One I suspect is that Welsh water foot the bill for maintaining infrastructure that delivers water to England free of charge. Don’t quote me on that as I do need to review it.
Not so long ago, I was asked to provide a pre work condition survey of properties with basements down a very narrow cobbled lane in Chester. Listed buildings everywhere. Collapsed brick sewer (Victorian) in the middle of the road over 3m down. The hole needed to get at it is deeper than than entire width of the road. Welsh water, yes in Chester, could not get a contractor to go near it without Welsh water accepting all liability arising from any consequences arising from the work. Wouldn’t surprise me if they were still pumping it out weekly.
Its self serving greed that will bring down the NHS - Jeremy Hunt, along with others, have ripped the innards out from something that ultimately belongs to the masses
This could be fascinating. Going to hinge around what is considered “exceptional circumstances” and whether the 1994 regs are still relevant (I need to look them up)
Tasted like old chlorinated water when I was 11 (Paris), many decades ago. I doubt it has changed for the better. But at least it is not poison I guess.
Then again, I am from western Norway and we are very, very spoiled.
In the summer ‘they’ up the chlorine in the water here such that you can taste it (I don’t suppose the warmth of it helps either, then that’s probably why they up the chlorine in it).
