About Consultation

Ofwat proposes varying the appointment of Independent Water Networks Limited (“IWN”) as a water company and making a consequential variation to the appointment of Bristol Water PLC (“BRL”) as a water company.

IWN has applied to be the water company for a new development at Parklands (“the Site”). The Site will comprise 1,600 domestic connections and 7 commercial non-household connections. The development is expected to be completed between 2028 and 2030.  The Site is within the water services area of BRL. IWN will supply the Site with water using a bulk supply from BRL. The Site is in the sewerage services area of Wessex Water, which will provide sewerage services to the Site.

Ofwat proposes to:

  • grant a variation of appointment to IWN as a water company to include the Site in its water supply area; and
  • vary the appointment of BRL as a water company to exclude the Site from its water supply area.

By means of the above, IWN will become the water supplier for the Site.

Any person who wishes to make representations or objections with respect to the application should do so in writing (which includes by email) to the Case Management Office at Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham, B5 4UA or by email at [email protected]

Representations must be received by Ofwat no later than 17.00 hours on 06 September 2017.
