    Representations: Strategic regional water resource solutions joint statement Document Reference: J007a This document is the joint representation with the other companies with strategic water resources schemes: Affinity Water, Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water, Southern Water, South West, Thames Water, Wessex and Water Resources South East. In this document general matters, which reflects the agreed position of all the companies United Utilities Water Limited Strategic regional water resource solutions Affinity Water, Anglian Water, Severn Trent Water, Southern Water, South West, Thames Water, United Utilities, Wessex Water 30 August 2019 Joint Company Statement Following the Draft Determination (DD) the working group has met several times to continue to work collaboratively to optimise the processes for developing the next set of strategic water resource solutions. The DD has added some additional options into the mix of schemes as well as increasing the number of companies working across the schemes from six to eight. These additional companies and schemes are welcomed as they will help provide additional choices when deriving the best value plans for customers, stakeholders and the environment. Our engagement with the regulators during the development of the plan have continued to help and shape this response. The recent meetings with RAPID, EA and Ofwat (in July and August) have been very encouraging and we look forward to working collaboratively to align the gated processes, national framework timetables and statutory planning processes. We want to ensure that the timetables and processes are efficient and co-ordinated, and we believe we can achieve this through a few simple re-alignments of some of the gates during the process.

In the publication of the July Draft Determinations for slow-track companies, Ofwat has made some adjustments to Outcome Delivery Incentives (ODIs). 2. We are pleased that on the whole our ODI’s in the round remain broadly in line with our Draft Determination following some changes at the Initial Assessment of Plans (IAP) stage with the Early Certainty Principle (ECP) providing some protection in this area. 3. This view of our ODIs is based on retaining the internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rate, which we represented on at our Draft Determination in April. The intervention at Draft Determination if applied would have a material impact on our outperformance payments (up to £1m outperformance a year). 4. We are restating our initial Draft Determination representation regarding internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rates and there are some clarifications and observations that we are making within our representation as follows on: • Leakage performance commitment rates • Priority services register reporting guidance • Pollutions • D-MeX • Compliance risk index (CRI). 3 Internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rates 5. We consider our proposed internal sewer flooding enhanced rate to be based on customers’ views, appropriate and balanced and not an outlier compared to other companies enhanced rates.

  • Anglian Water PR19 Executive Summary: Reply to Ofwat's
    Anglian Water PR19 Executive Summary: Reply to Ofwat's Response to Anglian's Statement of Case 1 Overarching Comments (1) Part 1 of this Executive Summary sets out some overarching comments that are relevant for the CMA's consideration of Ofwat's Response in the round. 1.1 Anglian Water: a company with social and environmental purpose at its heart (2) Anglian does not recognise the company which Ofwat has portrayed to the CMA in its response to the Company's Statement of Case ("SOC") and in its subsequent presentation. Ofwat has sought to portray Anglian as being focused on gaming the regulatory regime, paying very large and unjustified dividends to shareholders, and seeking additional costs only to pay dividends in AMP7. It sums this up by claiming that "Anglian Water's case is that customers should pay more and receive less".1 (3) In fact, Anglian's Business Plan would have enabled customers to pay less in bills, whilst receiving more. Its Plan is focused on doing the right thing for customers and the environment, now and in the future, and is in line with customers' clearly expressed preferences. Ofwat's FD, by contrast, would give customers less of what they want, and force Anglian to implement a series of sub-optimal short-term solutions that will, in the long-term, cause overall costs to be greater. Future customers will be left facing bigger costs, and bigger risks, than they should. (4) Anglian is a leading performer overall in the sector, innovating to become the industry-leader on leakage reduction, leading on drinking water quality measures and capital carbon reduction, highly regarded by peers, stakeholders, its supply chain and most importantly its customers and colleagues.

  • Service Delivery Report 2019-20 Introduction
    Service delivery report 2019-20 Introduction The service delivery report provides comparative information on both the total expenditure (totex) and the outcomes delivered to customers, as reported by the 17 largest companies within England and Wales. This report provides comparative information on important areas of performance. It should not be read as a final statement on performance, but is intended to supplement the more detailed information in companies’ Annual Performance Reports (APRs). This information will help us – and stakeholders such as customer groups, environmental groups and investors – to hold companies to account. This report is based on performance data for the last year of the 2015-20 price control period and also demonstrates trends in totex and outcomes across the five-year control period. Similar to the report in 2018-19, we: • provide comparative ranking of companies’ performance • present overall performance on total expenditure and outcome delivery in a single, tabulated view; and • examine longer-term changes on key indicators For 2019-20 we also include per capita consumption in our assessments of outcome delivery. We present an assessment of the shadow customer measure of experience (C-MeX) instead of service incentive mechanism (SIM) and include commentary on the developer services and business retail markets. This year, we also focus more closely on two areas – leakage and environmental performance. For environmental performance, we set out a selection of some of the company specific performance commitments companies were set for 2015-20 and how they have performed. By their nature these are less comparable across companies. Improving life through water | Gwella bywyd drwy ddŵr | 2 Key messages Our analyses of companies’ relative performance in 2019-20 demonstrates that Wessex Water is a better performing company for a second consecutive year.

  • Northumbrian Water Transforming Field Service with Mobile Workforce Management
    Best Practices Northumbrian Water Transforming Field Service with Mobile Workforce Management Roberta Bigliani Jean-François Segalotto IDC ENERGY INSIGHTS OPINION Northumbrian Water Limited (NWL) is a water and sewerage company supplying water and wastewater services to 2.7 million customers in the northeast of England as Northumbrian Water, and water services to 1.8 million customers in parts of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk as Essex & Suffolk Water. As part of its vision to be the U.K.'s leading water and wastewater company, in 2012 NWL embarked on a program aimed at transforming field service operations. The objective was to implement significant and sustainable improvements to field service operations by designing and implementing changes to NWL processes and technology to ensure that the company delivers work at the right time with the right people in the right place. Key features of the program include the following: . The development of a transformative operational business vision of field services jointly executed by business and IT in four months as the foundation for change. The deployment of a consistent end-to-end field service management process across the serviced territory. The implementation of a new mobile workforce solution executed in about 15 months by Infosys in collaboration with NWL using Oracle Utilities Mobile Workforce Management (OUMWM) software. The solution has been in operation since November 2014. While still in deployment the field service program generated financial benefits of about £1.2 million. Even more is expected in the future considering the project is improving productivity in planning, scheduling, execution, and completion of works.
