Woman Protests Sewage Spills by Withholding Water Bill for Three Years
Following a court order by Worthing County Court, North has been directed to pay Southern Water the nearly £1,000 she owes for her water bill. North had stopped paying in April 2023, citing concerns over sewage spills affecting beaches and the desire for significant change in the company’s practices, emphasizing the impact on future generations and quality of life. While urging others to consider boycotting payments, Southern Water stated its obligation as a regulated company to pursue non-payers, highlighting potential negative consequences on credit ratings and increased costs for those who do not comply.
