If they're making that much money in a monopoly then the customer isn't getting value for money. Open up the monopoly to competition, let the customer get better value for money and spend the savings on what they choose rather than what the government (almost always wrongly) deems correct.
They were making that much and no one knew who owned them as it was registered to an off shore entity. Now they have been forced/pushed to reinvest in the infrastructure and I think its a different owner (brick was litterally flowing into the river Thames when overflows were breached during heavy rains). So they are *only* making circa 600m a year now. Still going into private hands, possibly out the country too.
How do you open up the sewers to competition? Would you put in a parallel sewer system. Your logic is flawed.
