Ofwat sets out its three-year forward programme

Ofwat today set out the work it plans to carry forward over the next three years as it prepares for its change of governance to the new Water Services Regulation Authority.

The focus of its Forward Programme for 2005-06 to 2007-08, published today, will be on four key areas:

Implementing key elements of the Water Act 2003;
Evaluating the 2004 price review and looking at issues that will affect future price setting;
Working with Government, the Environment Agency and water companies to support the implementation of the Water Framework Directive; and
Protecting customers' interests by monitoring water companies' performance.

Notes:
1. The Director General of Water Services is the economic regulator of the water and sewerage companies in England and Wales. He exercises his powers in a way that he judges will allow them to carry out their functions properly, and finance them.
2. The 'Ofwat forward programme 2005-06 to 2007-08' will be available on the Ofwat website, www.ofwat.gov.uk, or from the Ofwat library on 0121 625 1373.
