Apropos of nothing, #UnitedUtilities are fucking scumbags. Makes a change from them pumping sewage into streams and onto beaches, mind you.

"United Utilities fined £800,000 after illegally abstracting 22 billion litres of #Water in #Lancashire

"It caused a significant decline in the #Fylde #Aquifer, which is an important public #WaterSupply for residents in the #NorthWest and also helps the flows of local #Rivers..."

Problem is they'll just shove a few quid on our bills to pay for it, there is just no punishment for those in charge.

@Mark62 They're too busy making patronising crap like this. These are genuine.

I'm back on filtering water as the last few months they've either had a problem nearby, due to replacing infrastructure to be fair, or a random massive burst like a few days ago. Signed up to emails to warn me of problems, but the cloudy water with bits, or lack of / no pressure is usually a good indication.

"illegally abstracting"? Is this a new euphemism for "stealing"?

@JoeP Well, I know someone who once got done for 'illegally abstracting' lead off a church roof...
