Regulation and Legislation
The bathing water season has started this week, with regular testing of water quality from the Environment Agency now underway at designated bathing sites.
Ofwat's enforcement capacity is set to be trebled, following the approval of an £11.3 million funding budget increase from HM Treasury.
Ofwat is seeking comment on its proposed approach to the storm overflows performance commitment definition for the 2024 Price Review (PR24) and requirements to install and maintain event duration monitors (EDMs).
Ofwat is seeking new powers to take action against water and wastewater companies across England and Wales when customer service falls short.
The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee is warning that the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) IT systems are outdated, inefficient, expensive and at constant risk of failure or cyber-attack.
