Regulation and Legislation
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has announced the launch of an investigation into the anticipated acquisition by Severn Trent Plc (through its subsidiary Severn Trent Green Power Ltd) of Andigestion Ltd.
Ofwat Chief Executive David Black has told the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC) that post-privatisation funding allowed by Ofwat for a drinking water quality programme led to improvement in large parts of the water mains network.
Water sector regulator Ofwat has set out measures that will penalise companies that do not fully monitor their storm overflows.
In a prosecution brought by the Environment Agency, Lincolnshire firm OMEX Agriculture Ltd - which leaked deadly liquid fertiliser into the River Witham, wiping out more than 135,000 fish - has been ordered to pay a total of £510,190.
The Government has rejected a call from the House of Lords Industry and Regulators Committee to strengthen the Strategic Policy Statement for Ofwat and also declined to introduce a single social tariff.
- Government consults on plans to expand targets to tackle sewage pollution even further
- Ofwat and other regulators join forces to StreamLine advice for water innovators
- Lords to follow up Ofwat inquiry by taking evidence from Water UK and National Infrastructure Commission
- Open data - Ofwat calls on water companies to act now and make more datasets publicly and freely available
