A former regulator has said that renationalisation of Thames Water is the is now the only feasible option for the debt-laden company. Chris Goodall, who previously worked at the Competition and Market Authority’s predecessor the Competition Commission, told Utility Week the level of debt compared to the business’ revenue makes Thames unsustainable and will force a change in the coming months. However, others have suggested that the future of Thames Water will be "kicked down the road" until after the general election.
