Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ON THURSDAY, Thames Water will unveil multi-million pound plans for a new filter to clean up London's water. The filter, which can be installed more quickly than existing ones, will reduce by three years its target time for reaching the standards laid down by the EC. The project will now be finished by the end of 1996.
Earlier this month, Thames posted profits of pounds 251m. It is widely regarded as one of the best-managed companies in its core business areas. However, it may run into stormier waters next year, when the Ofwat review of prices is due to be completed. Last week, Ian Byatt, the industry regulator, fired his first warning grapeshot.
