Regulation and Legislation
Ofwat has today announced that it is opening an enforcement case into Thames Water to investigate whether its delayed delivery of environmental improvement schemes has meant that the company has breached its obligations.
Ofwat has launched a new consultation on the acquisition of of Icosa Water Services Ltd by Macquarie – the Australian investment fund owns an 82% majority stake in Southern Water and was previously owner of Thames Water between 2006 and 2017.
The Environment Agency is continuing work on its largest ever criminal investigation to date into potential breaches of environmental permit conditions by all water and sewerage companies discharging into English waters.
The House of Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee has written to the Minister for Water and Flooding, Emma Hardy, to ask if there will be adequate support in place for customers in water poverty over the next five years.
Ofwat has expanded the Approach to the RAPID programme and gated process for PR24, enabling more solutions to join.
