    1. Fine them until the owed is the same value as the company, take it back into public ownership and call the age old law of even stevens.

      Higher bills for it’s customers then & no doubt the other water companies will then use Thames higher prices to raise them for the rest of us

      In other news, Thames Water customers were hit with the largest-ever water bill increase today

      What’s the point? Seriously? Thames Water customers will pay this fine, so how does it help them?

      Should be directly out of there bonuses that the bail out money paid for

    6. Can someone please tell me what the chocolate teapot of a regulator has been doing with Thames Water and all the other unlawful water companies for the last 20 years?

      Putting my bill up from £40 to £128 a month when I don’t take baths only showers I don’t water the garden etc. What a joke of a company run my greedy lazy people.

    8. Hopefully they will look to recover dividends that were wrongly paid.

      Also when are they going to hold the Execs accountable?

    9. If only the regulator OFWAT did their job sooner and actually regulated, we wouldn’t have got to this point where literal poo has been in our rivers for close to a decade.

      Not to say the companies themselves aren’t to blame too but what is the point of OFWAT if we end up in these situations anyway. They’re not even protecting us from large price rises in the next few years.

    10. > Of the total fine, £104.5m – 9% of Thames Water’s turnover – has been levied for breaches of wastewater rules. It’s just below the maximum 10% of turnover Ofwat could have applied.

      Another £18.2m penalty will be paid for breaches of dividend payment rules.

      Won’t that exacerbate the company’s deteriorating position further?

    11. But won’t Thames Water just put up consumers‘ bills to pay for the fine and then the whole infrastructure gets shitter? I can’t see a scenario where their shareholders and executives opt to take less profit out of the system to cover the fine instead of passing it on to customers or spending even less on maintaining their leaky pipes
