UK: The (never ending?) disaster of privatised water and sanitation services. Saturday Update:
The Guardian: Wessex Water chief pockets above-inflation pay rise despite bonus ban over sewage spills. CEO’s pay packet surges to £791,000 as union says public ‘sick of obscene pay’ and bosses ‘feathering own nests’.
The Guardian: Water firms in England and Wales ‘leak five times what hosepipe ban would save’. Greenpeace UK says 2.87bn litres lost daily, a fifth of all water pumped through network.
