  • All Company Working Group Joint Document
    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.

  • Delivering Outcomes for Customers Policy Appendix
    Contents Executive Summary 3 Internal sewer flooding enhanced outperformance rates 4 Customer views 4 The recommended industry approach to estimating enhanced rates 4 Other companies’ rates 6 Early Certainty Principle 6 Ofwat approach to benchmarking positive externalities 6 Summary 7 Leakage performance commitment rates 8 Supporting Information 8 Priority Services Register reporting guidance 9 Part one of the data-checking element of the common performance commitment 9 Recommendation 10 Pollutions 10 D-MeX 11 Compliance Risk Index (CRI) 12 2 Executive Summary 1. 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.

Baird Jerome R. Butler, Jr. William M. Drake John A. Holabird Elizabeth L. Hollander Irving J. Markin William M. McLenahan, Director Room 516 320 N. Clark Street Chicago, Illinois 60610 (312) 744-3200 Printed U.S.A./November 1984 A contemporary view of the Old Chicago Water Tower District. (Bob Thall, photographer) OLD CHICAGO WATER TOWER DISTRICT Bounded by Chicago Avenue, Seneca and Pearson streets, and Michigan Avenue. The district is com­ prised of the Old Chicago Water Tower, Chicago Avenue Pumping Station, Fire Station of Engine Company No. 98, Seneca and Water Tower parks. The district was designated a Chicago Landmark by the City Council on October 6, 1971; the district was expanded by the City Council on June 10, 1981. Standing on both north corners of the prominent inter­ section of Michigan and Chicago avenues are two important and historic links with the past, the Old Chicago Water Tower and the Chicago Avenue Pumping Station. The Old Water Tower, on the northwest corner, has long been recog­ nized as Chicago's most familiar and beloved landmark. The more architecturally interesting of the two structures, it is no longer functional and has not been since early in this century. The Pumping Station, the still functioning unit of the old waterworks, stands on the northeast corner. When the waterworks were constructed at this site in the late 1860s, there was no busy Michigan Avenue separating the adjoining picturesque buildings.

  • 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.

  • Glasgow Herald Buildings
    M072 Glasgow Herald Buildings Introduction The major alterations and additions to the Buchanan Street offices of the Glasgow Herald newspaper were one of John Honeyman & Keppie's biggest jobs, and one of the outstanding commercial building projects of 1890s Glasgow. The main element (phase 3 in John Honeyman & Keppie's job book) was a large new building at the rear in Mitchell Street. The job books also record a number of smaller, self-contained schemes for fitting out individual offices, and for other alterations. Authorship: Mackintosh himself claimed responsibility for the Mitchell Street building. His handwriting is on many of the surviving drawings, at least one contemporary architectural periodical ascribed the 'individuality' of the design to him, and the architect W. S. Moyes, who later worked in Honeyman, Keppie & Mackintosh's office, stated the Glasgow Herald was Mackintosh's design. 1 However, it is extremely unlikely that such an important commission would have been placed entirely in his hands while he was still a young assistant, and there must have been substantial input from John Keppie, and possibly John Honeyman. Alternative addresses: 7 Mitchell Lane 60–76 Mitchell Street Cost from job book: Phase 1: £357 1s 10½d; Phase 2: £132 14s 0d; Phase 3: £64,210 13s 5d; Phase 4: £537 6s 5d; Phase 5: £5033 9s 2d; Phase 6: £3065 4s 5d; Phase 7: £107 17s 6d; Phase 8: £3971 16s 7d Status: Partly demolished, partly converted to new uses Current name: The Lighthouse Current use: Shops, offices, bar, exhibition space(2014) Listing category:
