The impact of the Water White Paper on infrastructure investors
In this short webcast, our water specialists discuss the impact of the government’s proposed changes to the water sector. We look at how these changes will impact water companies and particularly infrastructure investors.
The government's objectives of the Water White Paper aim to:
- Ensure the industry remains stable so that it remains attractive to investors in the sector.
- Keep short and long term customer affordability at the centre of decision making.
- Remove barriers to competition and encourage new entrants.
- Improve the range and quality of services to customers, and cut business costs.
- Get the industry and stakeholders to work together to understand the impact of personal choices on the water environment, water resources and costs.
- Set out roles and responsibilities for the Government and sector regulators
- Deliver improvements to the water environment.
