Ofwat Strategic Policy Statement

Ofwat's regulatory approach to water companies is being shaped through a Strategic Policy Statement issued by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. The statement sets out government priorities for water regulation, including equality considerations and alignment with broader environmental policy. This is an active policy area with recent parliamentary scrutiny and cross-departmental coordination with other environmental regulators.
