"I agree: we need to fix the broken water system"

Show your support for a water system that works for people and wildlife 

Dirty rivers and seas. Water shortages. Flooding. Rising pressure on our water supplies.

These aren’t separate problems. These are signs of a water system that isn’t working as it should.

All water is connected and the way the water system is looked after should be too.

All water is connected. Water connects us all.

From the rain that falls on our hills, to the water we drink; it is all part of one water cycle.

Currently, water management is fragmented. Decisions about water supply, sewage, flooding, farming, development and nature are being made by different organisations with little accountability or transparency.

We believe there is a better way. If you agree, sign today!

Fix Water principles

💧 ONE SYSTEM

Manage water as one connected system.

Water doesn’t recognise county or political boundaries. Decisions and actions on water supply, pollution, flooding, drought, land and development need to work together.

One cycle. One joined-up approach.

🤝 FOR PEOPLE

Make water work for everyone.

Water is essential to life. The way it is managed should put clean and reliable water, healthy communities, fairness and the long-term public interest first.

🌿 WITH NATURE

Make nature part of the solution.

Nature isn’t just nice to have. It’s a necessary part of the water system. Healthy rivers, seas, wetlands, floodplains, chalk streams, and coastal habitats help store, slow and clean water, support wildlife and make us more resilient to floods, drought and climate change.

Fixing individual problems one at a time isn’t enough. The whole system needs fixing.

Stand with us. Add your name and call for a water system built around:

💧 One System
🤝 For people
🌿 With nature at its heart

You can write to your MP once you have added your name here.

This is a once in a generation opportunity to fix the water system through the upcoming Water Bill.

Let's make sure the Bill delivers for people and nature.

What is the 'Fix water' campaign?

The fix water is a campaign calling for fundamental change to the way water is managed. The upcoming Water Bill is a once in a generation opportunity to fix the broken water systems and it must be transformative.

Pollution, flooding, drought, water supply and nature loss are connected. We want water managed as one connected system, for public benefit and with nature at its heart.

What is the Water Bill?

The UK Government has proposed new law that could change how the water system works in England: the Water Bill. The Bill is expected to be introduced to Parliament in early 2027.

See here for information about the stages it will move through, which could help with effective campaign actions during each stage: Legislative process: taking a bill through Parliament - GOV.UK

What happens after I sign? 

Your support helps demonstrate public backing for change. There is a Water Bill coming soon. This is an opportunity to change the way the water system works.  We need the Government and decision makers to know that small improvements aren’t enough.  Now is the time to fix water for good.
