Ofwat and a coalition of water companies and government organizations — including the Environment Agency, the Drinking Water Inspectorate, and others — are rolling out a new vision for the future of the UK water sector. This will include better, more reliable service, as well as responding to new challenges such as climate change and population growth. Rachel Fletcher, the head of Ofwat, heralded the development of the new vision as an important act of collaboration that helps pave the way towards a better water sector for all.

Key Takeaways:

• Private water companies, regulatory agencies, and governments in England and Wales have been working together to create a clear vision for the future.
• The water sector is publishing their draft vision for the future and welcoming feedback from customers and other groups with a stake in the topic.
• The water sector has to deliver a plentiful supply of clean water, while at the same time meeting the long-term challenges from climate change and population growth.

“On top of that, the sector has come under pressure over recent years to prove it is doing the right things for customers and the environment and acting in the right way to secure continued public trust.”
