Summarization
The tweets discuss the issue of sewage dumping and the lack of infrastructure to prevent it, with many questioning why water companies have not invested in upgrades despite receiving money through dividends. There are calls for nationalization of the industry and the stopping of dividends until the necessary standards are met. Many also criticize the high salaries of senior management and the disregard for regulatory authorities. The deterioration in performance of water companies is attributed to budget cuts and relaxed regulations. Shareholders are seen as the main beneficiaries, with little oversight or accountability for the industry.

| 1638457755873714176 | "Ending sewage dumping will mean higher water bills". Here's the curious thing @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat claim WCs have already had all of the funding they needed to meet their legal obligations with regard to sewage. What happened the money? https://t.co/KjHgxmDHZ2 | 3383 |
| 1638800679593709574 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat During my 35 years in sewage treatment I witnessed a massive change in company attitude towards regulators in fact they disregard them. Assets are not repaired or replaced for financial reasons, senior management on ridiculously high salaries. They are above the law !!!. | 208 |
| 1638462205648674816 | @Feargal_Sharkey @e16again @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat It will take an investment of around £57bn to create infrastructure to stop pumping shit into rivers. In unrelated news since privatisation water companies have paid out £57bn in dividends. | 28 |
| 1638464941802881025 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat Surely it should mean that there will be lower dividends first, if any, before they can be allowed to raise prices. They have had years to properly fund improvements. Nationalise this vital “public” utility, preferably after #GTTO | 9 |
| 1638496843138060290 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat Would it have been too much like journalism to have made your readers aware of the billions of pounds of debt water companies have taken on since privatisation, while paying massive dividends and bonuses, @JonahFisherBBC ?https://t.co/qZBBXHWkm7. | 8 |
| 1638461614499176448 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat It’s very simply . All dividends should be stopped immediately until the standards are met. Any decent government would implement this immediately. They are obviously all share holders . | 7 |
| 1638498393759657985 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat They were debt-free at privatisation - the promise being that they would invest to upgrade things. 30 years on and they have huge debt - but it has been used to fund payments to investors. Any upgrades need to be funded from profits. | 6 |
| 1638468014323515394 | @Feargal_Sharkey @Keepitrunning25 @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat https://t.co/l2Bsf9fdUg Swimmers have been urged to stay out of the water, ecosystems are struggling to cope. Our waters have reached crisis point after years of budget cuts and deregulation - overseen by @trussliz during her time as Environment Secretary. | 6 |
| 1638459751137792001 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat I don’t mind paying to sort this problem out. But I’m only paying more if they re-nationalise the water industry. If it’s still privatised I’ll simply ignore any higher bills. I have no faith or trust in companies like @unitedutilities who will simply pocket the money and run. | 5 |
| 1638475132283891713 | @Feargal_Sharkey @guse_guse @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat We were told when water was privatised that it was necessary because private companies would invest in upgrading outdated Victorian infrastructure. Since then each year they’ve complained they need more money to upgrade infrastructure, but don’t do it. | 4 |

| 1638462412931170305 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat Not just that they have the funding, but that between 2010-21 water companies paid £18.9 bln in dividends to shareholders. Why are we still running public services as for-profit companies? We're clearly not getting a better service. | 42 |

| 1638477735700971520 | @Feargal_Sharkey @JonahFisherBBC @Ofwat Never any question of lowering their profits by actually doing the job they’re supposed to and investing the money in infrastructure | 23 |
