COMPENSATION CAMPAIGN :  BRITISH WATER

COULD YOU BE AFFECTED?

Are you a resident, household, or business in the Thames Water service area who has experienced the detrimental impact of poor water quality, unreliable supply, sewage flooding, or unjust billing? We believe you may have suffered direct harm and financial losses due to alleged negligence, nuisance, breach of statutory duties, or unfair practices. Your experiences are not isolated incidents, but part of a wider pattern of systemic failures within the water sector. We are building a powerful collective claim to seek the compensation and restitution you deserve. Join our Compensation Project to stand together, strengthen our collective voice, and hold the perpetrators accountable for the direct losses you have incurred. Your participation is vital to secure justice and drive meaningful change in how essential water services are delivered and regulated. Contact us today to learn more about how you can become a part of this crucial effort

COCOO.uk is launching a compensation campaign for individuals, businesses, and communities across the UK who believe they have suffered harm due to persistent issues in the water sector, particularly concerning sewage discharges into rivers and coastal waters, and related operational or regulatory failures. Are you one of those affected?

Potential affected parties include residents whose health or property enjoyment has been impacted by water pollution, businesses in coastal or riverside areas (such as tourism operators, fishing enterprises, or watersports providers) that have suffered economic loss, and any member of the public whose ability to use and enjoy natural water environments has been diminished due to contamination or inadequate service provision by water companies

COMMON HARM

The common harm we are investigating arises from an alleged pattern of widespread and repeated pollution incidents, often involving illegal or excessive sewage discharges by water companies, coupled with a potential systemic failure of adequate investment in essential water and wastewater infrastructure. This situation is potentially exacerbated by insufficient enforcement and oversight by regulatory bodies such as Ofwat and the Environment Agency. This combination of factors leads to the degradation of our rivers and coastal waters, posing risks to public health, damaging local economies, and harming ecosystems

WHY THIS CAMPAIGN IS CRUCIAL

This campaign is necessary because, despite growing public awareness and documented evidence of these widespread problems – including critical reports from bodies like the National Audit Office and ongoing legal challenges against regulators – satisfactory and comprehensive solutions have not been forthcoming. Water companies have faced allegations of prioritising profits and shareholder dividends over crucial infrastructure investment, and there are concerns about the effectiveness and independence of the regulatory framework in holding these statutory monopolies to account. COCOO.uk is actively investigating these matters by engaging with water companies like Thames Water, and regulators including Ofwat and the Environment Agency, to push for transparency and accountability. We believe that by uniting affected parties, we can collectively seek redress for the damages suffered and press for meaningful change

ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL HARM

Potential causes of action in tort, primarily against the water companies, include claims for private nuisance, where sewage discharges or other pollution cause substantial and unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of land or property. Claims in public nuisance may also arise where pollution affects a significant class of the public by interfering with common rights, such as the use of public beaches or waterways. Furthermore, actions in negligence may be pursued if it can be shown that water companies breached a duty of care owed to those foreseeably affected by their operations, leading to quantifiable harm through failures in infrastructure management or pollution control. While more challenging, the potential negligence of regulatory bodies for specific failures to act on known dangers may also be explored. The perjuicios, or harms, for which compensation may be sought include, but are not limited to, illness or health problems from exposure to contaminated water, diminution in property values, economic losses for businesses, loss of recreational amenities, and costs incurred in mitigating pollution effects

ABOUT US

COCOO.uk is a British non-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of fair competition, the protection of investors and consumers, and the safeguarding of the public interest. Our objective is collective redress on behalf of consumers and competitors to protect and promote their right to discipline responsible parties, both public and private. Oscar Moya LLedo is our Solicitor (the British equivalent of an “Abogado”) and plays a fundamental role in our mission to promote fair competition and protect the rights of consumers and businesses   CASEFILES:   1     2

Campaign Phases:

PHASE 1: Identification of systematic deficiencies in compliance with legislation that protects consumers, competitors, and the public interest.

PHASE 2: Identification of potentially affected parties and uniting them through this platform. Most victims never receive compensation and never find out that they are victims entitled to compensation or restitution. This creates a significant imbalance in the justice system to the disadvantage of consumers and competitors. That is why we need to unite. United, we gain power to negotiate on equal terms.

PHASE 3: Negotiation of the payment of financial compensation or restitution to the affected parties
