We want to know your views on the new strategic policy statement for the Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat).

As the independent economic regulator for the water industry, the decisions taken by Ofwat can have significant impacts on customers, the environment and wider society. It is the government’s responsibility to set the strategic framework and policy priorities within which economic regulators such as Ofwat operate.

This strategic policy statement sets out the government’s strategic priorities for Ofwat’s regulation of the water sector in England.
