Water water everywhere and not a drop for the allotment

I now think privatizing utilities a bad idea. They've awarded themselves fancy compensation packages with lots of pension rights whilst in my opinion ignoring the leaks and designing a proper water system for all these extra people we've had boat loaded in from other countries. Call it EU social engineering without thought.

Hose pipe bans start from now until further notice with varying rules depending on which utility company you are with.

Could you make it up?

I have various damaged containers that with repair will collect for me 3000 litres of water off the house and shed roof. Most people aren't as fortunate.

Dee Valley Services that supply us are not yet on the list of hose pipe ban utilities.

Quotes
A comment thread railed against high water bills and the fact that pipes leak 3.3 billion litres of water every day. One commentator read: “Why should I observe the ban? I pay just over £500 in water rates this year, which has been rising steadily over the years.”

Another asked: “Why is it they always criminalise the customer using what they are paying for?”
