plan for collapse of Thames Water

Another tarif option - it's not all clover & cappuccino in the Cornwall

How this (compulsory) trial works​

We’ll automatically switch you over to the new tariff on 1 October.


You will be charged less for your water in winter, and more in summer (when the higher temperatures mean people tend to use more water).


We expect the trial to last 2 years which will ensure our findings are accurate, and we’ll be able to bring a fairer way of charging to more people in the South West.

Come again?!

Surely historical metered readings provided both the data and the "fairer" way of charging customers?!

e: This seems utterly cynical; like the drive to push down energy usage versus jacking the standing charge; We'll tease a lower winter water unit cost and jack it up during the "peak" season! Give over.

Looks like the inevitable is now sooner rather than later; From March 2025 to December 2024. Thames debt has now gone from junk to er extra junk according to this Guardian News article.

Meanwhile Southern Water wants to er import water from Norway; the mind boggles.
