Thames Water: the business model built on sh*t
Manage episode 420628038 series 2638056
The state of our rivers is set to be one of the discussion points of the election and time’s ticking on Thames Water’s request for a 56 per cent increase in customers’ bills. As Ofwat mulls that one, it might ask how a company which leaks raw sewage into our rivers managed to rack up unsustainable levels of debt while also paying out dividends to shareholders.
Warning: this podcast includes exclusive interviews from those brave enough to take a dip in The Thames.
