Thames Water, which is drowning in debt, has been under fire for years over releasing untreated wastewater into rivers and seas. Thames Water on Monday announced a significant financial injection from shareholders that keeps Britain's biggest supplier of the commodity afloat. Thames Water on Monday also noted that it would need a further £2.5 billion of support between 2025 and 2030. Britain's "rail sector is easier as much of it is already effectively nationalised", noted Willmott. A UK court last week fined Thames Water £3.3 million for polluting rivers.
