Original Message by Anton Joseph:
Thames Water Board has finally done it. In November 2008, the first problems surfaced regarding the water supply to West Purley, but Thames Water insisted that their pumps and everything else were in order. Throughout 2009 we have experienced, from time to time, loss of supply and a permanent loss of pressure.
Last Thursday(17/12), one week before Christmas and with snow on the horizon, their pump finally gave up. We are now without water at certain times of the day with no immediate prospect of a solution in sight.
It is high time that Ultility Companies such as Thames Water and their foreign owners consider their customers interests and expend money to renew the infrastructure without constantly trying to find ways and means of increasing their profits and inflating the salaries of their top Executives. Privatisation has not done the ordinary man any favours. I would define "privatisation" as "a way for a few to make as much money as possible to the detriment of the many".
It is high time that we the consumers take a stand. I would suggest that all householders affected by this breakdown withhold their Water Rates for year 2010/11. This is the only way we can have an impact and ensure our rights are respected.
