The water sector continues to go through change in the quest for more effective ways to undertake its business. Diversification, restructuring, and the need to improve operational effectiveness are all driving investment as successful water companies seek to gain and maintain competitive advantage.

The massive capital investment of recent years continues, with expenditure in UK to continue at current levels for several years to come. With additional investment drivers from including legislative changes, periodic reviews, flooding and sustainability objectives and the effort required to operate and maintain the increasing assets increases accordingly.
