Fitch Ratings agency is warning that the UK water sector remains under pressure – factors that continue to weigh on the ratings include uncertainty around the Competition and Markets Authority appeals, operational delivery on total expenditure (totex) and outcome delivery incentives (ODIs) and pandemic-related bad debts.
A new report is warning that the United States is under-investing in its drinking water and wastewater systems — putting American households and the US economy at risk.
