It is true that bills have gone up. The intention was to fund the infrastructure investment needed. One of the problems of nationalisation, as you find time and again, is that investment and service standards suffer.
Of course, it is fair to say that some of the privatised utilities have not performed as well as they should, which reveals that more contract monitoring needs to take place.
