    5 1 Water, Policy and Procedure There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse; as I have found in traveling in a stagecoach, that it often a comfort to shift one’s position and be bruised in a new place. Tales of a Traveller, Washington Irving (1824) 1.1 ­Pressing Needs for Conservation and Protection? Among the nations, the three constituent countries of Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) were early to industrialise and have been that way for around two and a half centuries. While this observation sets the scene for an account of the water resources of Britain, the last 30 or more years have seen dramatic changes away from the heavy indus­ trial sector. Yet problems persist, particularly where ‘technical fixes’ have not ­provided solutions. Once it was assumed that regulatory measures, and especially ‘end of pipe’ pollution problems are solved (in theory) through consenting and licencing, yet diffuse pollution of waters persists from a range of contaminants and from a range of industrial and other activities. These result largely from the ways by which we conduct our econ­ omy and new solutions are sought. Not only is Britain definitively to manage its water resources on a catchment (or river basin) basis, but new political imperatives are ­emerging that require water management in part to become an extension of ‘civil ­society;’ this eclipses older ideas about ‘technocratic management’. This chapter outlines the present issues for sustainability and sustainable develop­ ment in water resources, and it also scopes out the challenges.

Wholesale water activities 1.1 Enhancement The tables below summarise the adjustments we make to set the efficient level of enhancement totex for the water resources and network plus water price controls. Where appropriate, we reallocate enhancement expenditure between enhancement activities. In the table, we present the company requested cost for each activity where we made a material challenge, after any reallocation that we may have done. Our disallowances to company enhancement proposals include a challenge on the need to invest, on the efficiency of the proposals or on the classification of the expenditure as enhancement (in which case we consider that the expenditure is covered by our base allowance). For draft determinations we make an adjustment to the enhancement allowances to account for an implicit allowance for enhancement opex included within our base models. We set out our method of estimating the opex implicit allowance in ‘Securing cost efficiency technical appendix’. Costs for new developments, new connections and addressing low pressure are now considered within wholesale water base (“botex plus”) econometric models. We show details

    Charges in 2021-22 and CMA Redeterminations

    Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham B5 4UA 21 Bloomsbury Street, London WC1B 3HF By email Anglian Water, Bristol Water, Northumbrian Water and Yorkshire Water Business retailers NAVs MOSL CCW Other parties 8 January 2021 Dear stakeholder Charges in 2021-22 and CMA redeterminations This letter sets out our view on the appropriate approach to making adjustments to normal charging arrangements to support the implementation of the CMA redeterminations for the four disputing companies. We are setting this out now to facilitate company statements on significant changes in charges which are due to be published on 11 January 2021 and wholesale charges which are due to be published on 13 January 2021. Four companies: Anglian Water, Bristol Water, Northumbrian Water and Yorkshire Water have asked the CMA for a redetermination of their price controls for the 2020-25 period. Following a request from three of the disputing companies for amendments to the charging rules to allow implementation of the CMA’s redetermination, my letter of 21 December 2020 consulted on the practical consequences and impact of making an accommodation under our normal charging rules with respect to three options for the implementation of the CMA’s redetermination: Implementation of changes over 4 years from 1 April 2021, which three of the four disputing companies (Anglian Water, Bristol Water and Northumbrian Water) suggested would be possible if the CMA issued its redetermination no later than the week commencing Monday, 8 February 2021 and Ofwat allowed them to publish 2021-22 charges no later than Friday, 19 February 2021. Implementation of changes during the 2021-22 charging year, which would allow charges to change during the charging year (potentially after six months) to reflect any differences in the price limits that the CMA sets such that the CMA’s price limits are smoothed over 3.5 years.

    Our Response to Ofwat's Initial Assessment of Plans

    Our response to Ofwat’s initial assessment of plans April 2019 wessexwater.co.uk Our Response to Ofwat’s Initial Assessment of Plans Wessex Water Executive summary This document sets out the updates we have made to our Business Plan for 2020-2025 following: • Ofwat’s initial assessment of plans which it published in January 2019 • our continued engagement with our customers • engagement with the Wessex Water Partnership (who act as our regulatory Customer Challenge Group) • updated information from environmental regulators about the required outcomes. We understand the need to continue to show great value in the round as well as excellent services to our customers. Our board remains committed to: • putting customers and communities at the heart of what we do • embracing change and innovation through our open systems model • environmental leadership • investing in our people and skills • sharing our success with the wider community. Updates to our plan mean that in 2020 average bills to customers will now reduce by 10% in real terms. By 2025 bills will remain 6% less than today in real terms despite having completed our largest ever set of environmental and service improvements. As a result our customers and the environment will continue to get the best service levels of any water company in the UK. Since September 2018 we have reduced the forecast expenditure in our plan by £43m. The reductions are to take account of new information about our obligations including, at Ofwat’s suggestion, where the performance target level that the industry is required to meet is less ambitious than we had originally proposed.

    South West River Basin District Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment

    South West river basin district Flood Risk Management Plan 2015 to 2021 Habitats Regulation Assessment March 2016 Executive summary The Flood Risk Management Plan (FRMP) for the South West River Basin District (RBD) provides an overview of the range of flood risks from different sources across the 9 catchments of the RBD. The RBD catchments are defined in the River Basin Management Plan (RBMP) and based on the natural configuration of bodies of water (rivers, estuaries, lakes etc.). The FRMP provides a range of objectives and programmes of measures identified to address risks from all flood sources. These are drawn from the many risk management authority plans already in place but also include a range of further strategic developments for the FRMP ‘cycle’ period of 2015 to 2021. The total numbers of measures for the South West RBD FRMP are reported under the following types of flood management action: Types of flood management measures % of RBD measures Prevention – e.g. land use policy, relocating people at risk etc. 21 % Protection – e.g. various forms of asset or property-based protection 54% Preparedness – e.g. awareness raising, forecasting and warnings 21% Recovery and review – e.g. the ‘after care’ from flood events 1% Other – any actions not able to be categorised yet 3% The purpose of the HRA is to report on the likely effects of the FRMP on the network of sites that are internationally designated for nature conservation (European sites), and the HRA has been carried out at the level of detail of the plan. Many measures do not have any expected physical effects on the ground, and have been screened out of consideration including most of the measures under the categories of Prevention, Preparedness, Recovery and Review.
