Time for water to be re-nationalised we cannot afford foreign interests being involved in a vital utility.

Ironic that several foreign, publicly owned, utility companies, own shares in our privately owned utility companies in order to keep costs down for their own nationals. Deutsche Bahn, for example, can charge 40% less for travel in Germany because we are subsidising them with our fares and taxes.

The word corrupt seems to have lost all meaning at this point. This is beyond mere corruption, it's evil. Pumping sewage into one of the crown jewels of one of our finest national park lake preserves like this, especially on such a scale by a legitimate business, is evil. They are serious criminals who should ALL be stripped of their wealth and locked up in prison to make a clear statement to the business world. United Utilities should then also be liquidated and the UK's water supplies re-nationalised into public ownership.

I think what the spokeman is saying is that rain run-off that goes down roadside drains, enters the same pipes as sewage water from the household. The two are not separated. So when there is heavy rain, the sewage treatment cannot process the drainage quick enough, and it gets diverted into the lake. The solution most likely to work is to have a separate drainage system for run-off. Such a system could be used to fill reservoirs with clean water, while the sewage system would flow into the sewage treatment plants. The sewage flow would stay constant and predictable regardless of rainfall.
