Dear [insert MP name],

I am angry and alarmed at today’s huge price rises for water, and write to ask you to require this government to stop the bill rises until all criminal investigations of water companies are completed, and the government has fully investigated water company finances.

It is shocking in the midst of a cost of living crisis, to be asked to pay more whilst wealthy shareholders continue to extract money, and we continue to be cheated from the services we are paying for – the treatment of our sewage. We have no choice in who provides our water and sewerage services, we are captive customers and therefore powerless.

We know that the water industry has already received all the investment it needs to fund the infrastructure upgrades necessary to comply with the law, with £17bn+ spare, so why are we being asked to pay again for a service we should already have received?

The public has had enough of the illegality and mismanagement at the heart of the UK’s privatised water industry. I hope you will stand up for us in opposing these bill increases and in pushing for a fairer water system that puts people and nature, not shareholder profit, at its heart.
