  • Written Evidence Submitted by Pennon/South West Water Pennon Group
    Pennon /South West Water WQR0056 Written evidence submitted by Pennon/South West Water Pennon Group Pennon Group is a FTSE100 company and the owners of South West Water and Bournemouth Water. We provide water and wastewater services to a population of c.1.7 million in Cornwall, Devon and parts of Dorset and Somerset, and water-only services to c.0.5 million in parts of Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire. South West Water sustains 6,000 jobs in the regional economy and, since 1989, has invested more than £7 billion to maintain and improve water and wastewater services. At the time of privatisation our coastal bathing waters were blighted by raw sewage outfalls but years of sustained investment by South West Water has transformed them into some of the best in Europe. Our pioneering Upstream Thinking catchment management scheme was one of the first to demonstrate nature-based improvements to water quality. We care deeply about the environment and are currently making our largest environmental investment for 15 years, with additional proposals submitted to Defra and our regulators to accelerate and expand investment to support a Green Recovery. In addition to the written views provided below, our CEO Susan Davy would be delighted to assist the Committee’s inquiry further by providing oral evidence. Summary of our view Our customers and communities are placing increasing importance on river water quality for amenity, in addition to ecology We care deeply about the environment and the priorities of our customers and communities - the environment is now our top priority, second only to safe clean drinking water Experience has taught us that working in partnership and understanding how most effectively to intervene will be essential if we are to play our part in delivering a step-change in river quality.
