Water UK response to Ofwat's Final Determinations announcement

Responding to the publication of Ofwat's Final Determinations, a Water UK spokesperson said:

“After a decade of cuts Ofwat has finally listened to public anger and agreed a much-needed quadrupling of investment in our aging infrastructure.

"This will be the largest amount of money ever spent on the natural environment, and will help to support economic growth, build more homes, secure our water supplies and end sewage entering our rivers and seas. Each water company will now need to take time to assess what Ofwat’s decision means for them.

“We understand increasing bills is never welcome. To protect vulnerable customers, companies will triple the number of households receiving support with their bills to three million over the next five years.”
