Renationalise water

Closed 2,597 signatures

What the petition asks

Take the water industry out of private hands and set up a national water board to oversee the running. Why should I be afraid to turn on a tap in case I use too much water and can't afford the bill, while others are profiting in a big way? Water is a necessary resource that no human can do without.
