😒Thames water. What the hell!

So, I've just received my latest half yearly bill, over a 40% price increase.

Am I a bit behind? I had no idea this was coming.

yeah you're behind Our charges | Account and billing | Help | Thames Water

A lot of the water companies have increased their charges. We're with Southern Water and their prices increased by around 20% last April.

Happened with South West Water too.
Bills up in approx May this year

Someone has to fund the bonuses paid to management

I wonder how much Thames Water are paying for all the TV ads they've got on at the moment. What's the point of them advertising anyway? It's not like we have a choice.

well what are the adverts about? I'm guessing it's things like encouraging people to use less water and not flush things down the toilet that they shouldn't, which in turn helps to reduce the bills you're moaning about!

The ads are showing you all the wonderful work they're doing, that should have been done years ago.
