Water UK, the trade organisation which represents all of the UK water companies, is calling for major reform of the water system in its submission to the Independent Water Commission, chaired by Sir Jon Cunliffe.

The National Audit Office (NAO) has today published a highly critical report saying that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and water regulators have failed to drive necessary investment for the sector, which now faces significant environmental, supply and infrastructure challenges.

Ofwat has set out additional guidance for water companies on its expectations for how they should propose price control deliverables at the upcoming 2024 price review for the 2025-30 investment period.

Ofwat has said that it is planning to engage with the solution owners of strategic regional water resource solutions under the RAPID programme to discuss the funding framework for AMP8 "in due course."

Water sector regulator Ofwat has today published its draft methodology for the upcoming Price Review (PR24) with a focus on securing better outcomes for customers and the environment.

Ofwat is looking for a Director to lead key elements of the upcoming PR24 price review, and help shape the design and delivery of this and future price reviews.

Ofwat and CCW have published the second piece of joint research into customer priorities which will inform wider aspects of the 2024 Price Review and the development of common Performance Commitments and Outcome Delivery Incentives.
