Thames Water

I see from a BBC news report that Thames Water want to charge consumers an extra "one off" £29

Thames Water has asked its regulator, Ofwat, for permission to raise prices.

It wants to put up bills by about £29 per household during 2014-15, but has asked Ofwat if it can spread the rise over more than one year.

The company says the rise is needed because of increases in Environment Agency charges and to cover the cost of preparing for the construction of the Thames Tideway Tunnel.

Would love to know what the increased Environment Agency charges are as they certainly don't figure in navigation income !

Probably fines for all the untreated sewage that has "escaped" into the river.
