I imagine that the CIO was begging the board for money to fix the systems, much as the COO was begging for money to overhaul and replace the physical infrastructure, but shareholders were put first. I see this as a problem of regulation. Ofwat has failed, and if the cause of their failure is that they were not given adequate powers, then it is the Conservative government that privatised and deregulated the water industry that is the root cause. Tony Blair and Gordon Brown's Labour governments may be equally culpable if they did not fix the problem.
