Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink.

 

With not a drip coming out my tap I take a look at South East Water map

The red outage spreads far and wide with updates there to empathise

But with all deadlines a variable feast I wonder when we will get some liquid peace

I do not know how Hinton sleeps at night with 10,000 leaks of water within his sight

With rapid thaw the company’s nemesis, helping the leaks expand and persist

You would expect a super hero to fix the outage back down to zero,

But we are left with a board of jokers, with sound bite quotes and roadside soakers

Pushing dividends and corporate smack to ease the issue of customer kick back

We will compensate, that’ll fix the mess, but leave the issue unaddressed

To Ofwat what do we see, a regulator that just likes to be

But ask to champion points on water will see them clam up and falter

Just further sound bites and miss laid trust to add to the water pipes continued rust.

The water bill has further leaks, which Government does not like to speak.

So happy Christmas to one and all with water surrounding us this fall

But no supply out of my tap I wonder when the water will be back.
