Bristol water want a 29% price rise despite Ofwat capping the rise.

It's quite difficult to work out what's really happening.
They are privately owned and have posted big profits over the last few years.
They want to charge around 29% more to cover investment in infrastructure.
Locals are not happy.

    They are just disputing the prices in AMP5 that OFWAT has set, i very much doubt they will get 29% i think most companys have got about 0.5/1% ish

    I remember complaining about the taste of the drinks out of a vending machine in Bristol. Apparently the water is so bad that the vending machine makes an improvement.
