Our business plan for 2020 to 2025

As most people cannot choose their water supplier, one of Ofwat’s duties is to set the price, investment and service package that customers receive. They do this every five years and must balance the interests of customers with ensuring that companies can pay for and deliver the services they need to. 

Our business plan for 2020 to 2025 sets out the commitments we have made to deliver a range of improvements over the five-year period, enhance the environment and increase the resilience of our service for the future. We will do this through five pledges.
