Thames Water wants customers views on pricing

[boatone]

Thames Water is asking its customers what improvements they want to see over the next five years and how much they are prepared to pay for services.
Thames Water serves London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Gloucestershire, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and Wiltshire.
The company has 14 million customers and its operating profits last year were £640m.

So, if you are a Thames Water customer, here is your chance to suggest to them that they pay £1 p.a. per customer to EA Thames for the management of the river. That would bring in a cool £14Million which would almost entirely cover the current public purse contribution to funding the non-tidal river. If accounted for creatively, it would also be pre-tax (if they pay any) so would not actually cost them that much ! Perhaps it could be a licence payment for the use of the words "Thames Water"

Probably a french company and therefore the (any) notional profits will be exported elsewhere !
