Petition
re-nationalise water
Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
Nationalise the water industry. Water is a basic human right.
Water companies should be not for profit. The water companies are failing in their duty of care to the environment and yet taking profits, giving bonuses and pleading for funding from the government when they get into financial trouble.
