The British are outraged that Thames Water is leaking hundreds of millions of liters of water every day.
After the driest July on record, the Thames has admitted it may implement a ban.
But many Britons have taken to social media to highlight the water company's failure with leaks in areas where the soon-to-be-distributed water is wasted daily.
The water of the Thames has now been shown to waste about 24% of its water daily, equivalent to more than 624 million liters of her water.
This means that every four days a day's water usage is wasted.
Someone tweeted. Streatham High Road, #Streatham.
"The Thames installed a plastic barrier, but since then there has been no sign of further work by @thameswater. Water shortage. Water shortage."
Their anger was shared by many others who have similar leaks in their own areas, responsible for hundreds of millions of liters of wastewater.
