just another private company jumping on the money grabbing bandwagon
and will use any and all excuses to increase profits at the consumers expense …

The Utilities were a stable business and really the rules should have been written so that they could not pay crazy bonuses in what is a sedate stable business. Also dividends should have bee restricted if leaks were excess and so on. All they have become is cash cows because we have to use water and they would charge what they want if they could get away with it. Prices should be capped at the level of inflation.
