Public Affairs

 

Welcome to the public affairs section of our website.  For us, ensuring that we play our role in protecting the most important of natural resources, whilst providing our customers with essential water and waste water services defines our company.

Our underlying theme is for the water industry to play a bigger role in addressing sustainability whilst achieving even better value and throughout this section you will find information and ideas on how we think this can be achieved.

Taking responsibility for the water environment for good - turning debate into action

In May 2011 we published our vision for the water sector and a year on our new publication now explains how we're turning our words into action.

Our new publication contains a number of case studies demonstrating that we're starting to think differently about how we operate. You'll see how we're learning from others about how to move towards our goal of sustainable water.
