ALT Ofwat interin chief executive David Black with quote: There is no doubt how hard this past year has been and that the financial impact of Covid-19 will be long felt by customers across society. By understanding people's needs and priorities through the pandemic we can make a positive difference for customers and communities.

Crucially, the CMA has backed the principle we have been advocating, that investors must work hard for their returns, bringing customers better, more resilient services and a healthier environment.”
We are deeply saddened at the tragic loss of four lives today in Avonmouth. Our thoughts are with the people and families affected, everyone at @wessexwater carrying out vital work each and every day, as well as the emergency services working on this incident.
Our thoughts are with the families, friends and colleagues of those involved following the tragic incident at Wessex Water’s Bristol water recycling centre in Avonmouth today (3 December 2020).
Looking forward to speaking at the @IndepenLtd#SocialContractSummit next week. It’s a chance to explore the huge opportunities water companies have to support a Green Recovery, and make faster progress towards a Net Zero future and a healthier natural world.
Looking forward to speaking at @MoodysInvSvc UK Water webinar today, to look at long term resilience challenges & the opportunities investors have to drive change in the industry. Lots we can do to achieve resilience while keeping water affordable & caring for the environment
