Regulation and Legislation
Water companies will face the strictest targets on pollution from sewage ever under a new plan to tackle sewage discharges in waters published by the Government today.
Ofwat has published new guidance setting out the process for the next stage of the process for water companies to investigate and develop strategic water resource solutions that benefit customers, protect and enhance the environment and benefit wider society.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has found that the anticipated purchase of Waterlogic by Culligan could lead to a loss of competition in the supply of multifunctional taps to business customers in the UK.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has confirmed that more support will be provided for farmers to help them deal with the impacts of some of the driest weather for decades.
Ofwat, the economic regulator of water services in England and Wales, has announced a new “open access” competition for innovators as its £200 million Innovation Fund evolves to encourage more diverse ideas to transform water services for customers, the environment and society.
