The brief

The Water Act was introduced in 2014 which saw the deregulation of water, and the overarching aim of the Act was to introduce competition into the water market in England from 2017.

As a result of this Act all businesses in England were able to use their preferred suppliers for both water, and waste water supply and services.

The benefits of opening the market were:  Improved customer service  Being able to select one supplier across your site portfolio  Opportunity for savings through increased efficiencies and cost discounts  Innovation in the water services market Lancashire Constabulary previously used United Utilities (UU) for the supply of water, however; because of the Act the company split in 2017 between UU for residential properties and a newly created company Water Plus whose responsibility was to supply water to commercial businesses.
