GMB has described Yorkshire Water’s decision to impose a hosepipe ban after wasting 95 billion litres of water last year [1] as ‘outrageous’.
Deanne Ferguson, GMB Organiser, said:
“Yorkshire Water lost 95 billion litres of water through leaks last year,
“That’s 260 million litres wasted every single day - meanwhile they've dumped hundreds of thousands hours’ worth of sewage into our rivers and coastlines
“Bills are rocketing, infrastructure is crumbling, and investment is nowhere to be seen.
“For Yorkshire Water to now impose a hosepipe is outrageous.
"This isn’t about water scarcity – it’s about corporate negligence. People across Yorkshire are being punished while profits flow and pollution pours out.”
