True, but they don’t state how much the water companies invested under state ownership, so the comparison isn’t much use.

Yes, without that figure a comparison can’t even be made. My guess is that it would show a sub optimal amount of investment by the state, but without the figures my guess is no better than yours.
Don’t you think there might be an ever so slight tinge of “they would say that, wouldn’t they?” to Water UK’s comments…?
Granted, although the claim they have invested 70billion should be easy enough to verify or disprove.
