wastewater treatment investigation
In 2021 Ofwat launched an industry
wide investigation into how companies manage their wastewater
assets. Ofwat has announced that United Utilities Water (UUW) will
be included alongside other companies who have previously been the
subject of enforcement investigations since 2022.
UUW has received an information
request relating to the performance and operation of its wastewater
assets. We will respond to the data request to provide Ofwat with
the information it requires to undertake its investigation. Issuing
the information request does not imply that
Ofwat will conclude that formal enforcement action and/or a
financial penalty will be imposed.
We understand and share people's
concerns about the health of the environment and the operation of
wastewater systems, including combined sewer overflows. UUW is
delivering billions of pounds of investment in environmental
improvements. We have a dedicated 500 strong team working across
the region, driving reductions in the number of spills. This team
comprises some of the best data scientists, engineers and
construction experts who are innovating and accelerating progress
for the benefit of customers, communities and the environment in
the North West.
We will continue to work openly and
constructively with Ofwat to comply with the formal notice issued
as part of its ongoing industry investigation.
