Yes, despite it being the beginning of January, Britions are being told to expect a hose pipe ban. Instead of an in depth discussion on how the water company miss management across the country driven by profit motive... Its lets all blame it on the weather with the inference that it is more evidence of Global Warming.
How about considering, that it is in the water companies financial interests to make water a scarce and expensive product to get more profit for delivering less water ?
Also consider that during the past decade the water companies have been incrementally and persistently closing small resevoirs to sell off the land and reduce costs.
Where is the motivation to fix leaking pipes and what incentive exists for the water companies to bury the water pipes deeper to protect against low temperature burst pipes ?
No... it is blame it all on Global Warming, will the corperate machine that owns Govt continues to squeeze the serfs for more money for less water - All under the cover of Global Warming, as evidenced by this typical news headline . . . .
10ft high snow drifts and coldest winter in 100 years... and now a HOSEPIPE BAN is on the cards as reservoirs dry up
