Water

As with electricity and gas, water services are provided by the private sector and unlike gas and electricity, water companies do not have to compete for domestic customers. In Northern Ireland services remain in the public sector.

To ensure a high standard of service from all of the companies the industry is regulated in three key areas;

• Costs to Consumers
• The Environment
• Quality of Drinking Water

The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs - Defra -are responsible for all aspects of water policy in England and Wales. In Scotland this is the Scottish Executive and in Northern Ireland the industry is overseen by the Water Services.
