Response to the roundtable with Secretary of State and English water company CEOs

On behalf of the English water companies, David Henderson, Water UK Chief Executive, said:

“We welcome today’s swift action by the Secretary of State. Companies have agreed to his direction that, in addition to turbocharging investment, they put customers and the environment at the core of how they operate.

“We will work with Government to implement these reforms as quickly as possible and deliver our largest-ever investment plan to secure our water supplies, end sewage in rivers and enable economic growth.”
