Water industry staff do amazing work, giving us the world’s cleanest drinking water and working their socks off to tackle and repair leaks, to bolster infrastructure and to oversee the operation of waste water treatment systems to serve our communities. They are just as much victims as their fellow bill payers of the utterly failed system that we are faced with. The system has failed for two key reasons: inadequate regulation and a broken ownership and financial model. That is why we propose through new clause 2 the abolition of Ofwat and the creation of a new consolidated super-regulator, with the power, focus and resource to hold the water industry to account and to enforce stronger rules.
