Glas Cymru Cyfyngedig, the not-for-profit owner of Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, is in discussion with its Members and lenders to restructure the group in order to increase its ability to pursue limited commercial activities to widen the range of its service to customers and to adapt to changes in the water sector.
The potential restructure will not impact on its not-for-profit model. The main focus of the Group will continue to be the provision of Welsh Water’s excellent services to its customers - the treatment and supply of excellent quality drinking water and treatment of wastewater to protect the environment.
A meeting of Glas Cymru Members will be held in the New Year to formally consider the new structure.
