Severn Trent has delivered strong financial performance in the first six months of AMP8 with year-on-year profit before interest and tax (PBIT) growth of 57% and record levels of investment – the company will grow its regulatory asset base by 13% this year, according to its interim results for the six months to 30 September 2025 published today.
Ofwat’s latest reports on water companies’ service, delivery and financial performance over 2017-18 show that customer satisfaction has risen but sector performance deteriorated with a number of failures on performance commitments, including leakage, water quality and water supply interruptions.
James Sumsion, CEO of predictive water intelligence specialists Kohtari, says the water sector needs to take a giant leap forward, so that it can anticipate and act upon water quality issues - rather than merely react.
Ray Moulds, Sales Director at Flood Control International, takes a look at how automated sliding floodgates are supporting secondary containment at water and sewerage company sites.
With the UK government demanding a 50% reduction in storm overflow spills by 2029, the era of reactive management is over. Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 July 2025, then environment secretary Steve Reed said, “This Government will cut water companies’ sewage pollution in half by the end of the decade.”
