  • Water regulation: key developments in 2011

    This year will see significant reforms to the regulation of water in England and Wales with the publication of a Water White Paper, and a major reform of the economic water regulator Ofwat. The changes will affect not only water companies and their customers, but also have implications for wider utilities regulation and climate change adaptation.
