Overview
This National Audit Office report examines how the Office of Water Services (OFWAT) have carried out their responsibilities for regulating the way water companies in England and Wales manage leakage and promote the efficient use of water. It finds that, since 1995, leakage has fallen from 31 per cent of the water put into supply to 22 per cent and that water companies are now in a stronger position to maintain the supply of water to their customers in dry weather. Water companies have also made progress in promoting water efficiency to reduce the amount of water wasted by customers. OFWAT now needs to address several important unresolved issues. These include the uncertainty that remains over the total level of leakage, whether there is scope for reducing leakage in a cost-effective manner and the need to establish which actions to encourage customers to use water more efficiently are actually worthwhile. Recommendations are made in this report on how OFWAT can take these issues forward.
