Customers of water and sewerage companies deserve excellent service at a fair price. But most customers in England and Wales are unable to choose their suppler and have to receive their services from one or more monopoly suppliers. So it our role is to protect the interests of current and future customers.
Following extensive engagement with our stakeholders, we are now setting out our final approach to setting price controls for 2015-20. This also includes:
- our expectations for the information each water company should include in its business plan, setting out its proposals for the next five years
- how we will review and challenge those plans
