Proposals to allow a large business to switch water supplier were published today by Ofwat for consultation. Under the plan, the Kodak site in Harrow would be supplied by Three Valleys Water instead of its current provider Anglian Water. The proposal, known as an inset appointment, will need to be approved by the Director General of Water Services. If it does receive the go-ahead it will be the first time that an existing water company has supported a rival's bid to supply a specific site. Notes to Editors: 1. The Director General of Water Services is the economic regulator of the water and sewerage companies in England and Wales.
