Hey John, have you heard the news? We’ve just dropped our latest Water Quality Report—and it’s an absolute STINKER...
|
 |
|
Here's what we uncovered:
💩 592,478 sewage dumps pouring into UK waterways for over 4.7 million hours.
💸 £1.2 billion handed to water company shareholders while our health and planet pay the price.
🤮 2,487 pollution incidents in England—more than double the target set by the Environment Agency.
😠 Over a quarter of adults in England are so fed up they’ve considered not paying their water bills.
Our report lays it all bare. 👇

But there is still HOPE. Read on to find out how you can take action and see how water lovers like you have been affected by sewage pollution. 👇

Suzi's story
|
|
Suzi is a 42 year old mother of two from Bognor Regis who developed a life threatening blood infection after swimming at her local beach.
“I became critically ill and spent six weeks in hospital care. This experience has completely changed my life, I’ve faced a long recovery, ongoing health challenges. This has impacted my family, and the financial strain of closing my business and being unable to fully return to work.”

Charlie's story
|
|
Charlie is a 28 year old triathlete who caught a virus while swimming at Clevedon Marine Lake.
“This experience and diagnosis set me back. Everyday tasks became a barrier to a normal life. My main social outlet is sport, which was put on hold for several months. This impacted my confidence and left me particularly isolated. It took me around a year to become confident.”

Broken pipes. Broken promises. A broken system. We simply cannot trust the privatised water industry in England in its current state.
But NOW is our opportunity for real change. The Independent Commission will be finalising its recommendations for water industry reform in England and Wales in May. THIS is our chance to be heard.
