Taverham.
With regards to Thames Water saying that the population that it serves has grown, that is correct.
Every utility and food supplier can tell the government that.
Take a water treatment works that deals with sewage, they are not just built and then the flows turned on. Every one is calibrated to deal with flows from a given population in its catchment area. To deal with exceptional flows storm tanks are built to store the addition flow. So in simple terms, build a works to deal with 500.000 as a number. If over time the works becomes more overloaded during normal weather conditions than something is increasing the flow rate.
The same with clean water supply , gas supply and electricity . Why does the National grid keep warning of black outs, because the supply cannot keep pace with the increased population, they closed generation plants years ago when the population was stable, then in 1997 some prats voted in Blair and the rest is history.
And back to sewage, that increased flow due to increased population will bring into play combined sewage overflows more often, so creating spillages into water courses. Every sewage works has over flows, in the works and along the inlet lines .
So additional work to improve the Water, Sewage, power and gas is needed at very great expense and whom will pay the bill? Then throw in the additional housing, schools, hospitals, roads rail networks, congestion etc every aspect of our lives and living standards will be affected . Anyone whom wants more mass inflows of immigrants from anywhere is a utter fool, or making money out of them.
