Huw writes to UKPN, South East Water and Ofwat CEOs regarding local water resilience

Last week, I published the response I have received from Ofwat to the letter I sent to them in June where I asked for an update on what Ofwat has asked of South East Water in relation to the company’s investment in making their network more resilient which justify the extra charges which have been applied to customers’ bills for this purpose. 

Today, I have written a further letter to Ofwat which you can find below. I have also written further correspondence to the CEOs of both UKPN and South East Water.

As soon as I receive their responses, I will ensure to publish them.
