as posted by the channel

Bosses at South East Water were in front of the Environment Select Committee this week where their performance during water shortages earlier this year were put under the spotlight.

In this explosive Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee hearing, senior executives from South East Water are forced to answer for widespread disruption, empty taps, and growing public anger.

These exchanges lay bare the reality behind the UK’s water crisis. MPs demand answers on why thousands of households were left without reliable water supply, whether warning signs were ignored, and how a major utility company could be so unprepared. As the questioning intensifies, executives struggle to defend their actions, leading to tense, revealing moments that you won’t want to miss.

This video captures the most dramatic and important clips from the hearing, showing how politicians are taking on powerful water companies at a time when public trust is at an all-time low. With climate change increasing pressure on water supplies and concerns growing over leaks, underinvestment, and environmental damage, this debate couldn’t be more urgent.

The committee also explores bigger questions facing the entire UK water industry: Are private companies prioritising profits over people? Has regulation failed to keep up? And what reforms are needed to prevent future crises?

If you care about the cost of living, public services, climate change, or government accountability, this is essential viewing. The fallout from these failures could have major consequences for the future of water in the UK—and for how vital services are run.
