Nationalise the UK water industry

What the petition asks
I would like to see the government make plans to gradually nationalise the UK water industry.
Unlike other utilities, we have no choice of supplier, which we think makes water companies uncompetitive.
Ofwat has proposed £168m of fines for three of England's biggest water companies for failing to manage their wastewater treatment works.
