Description
Objectives

South West Water (SWW) provides water and wastewater services to a population of 1.6 million people in the South-West of England, in the counties of Cornwall and Devon, as well as smaller areas within Dorset and Somerset. The investment programme was approved by the economic regulator OFWAT in 2009 as part of the expenditure programme for the regulatory period 2010-15 (Asset Management Plan 5). The investments are driven by EU Directive compliance in the areas of wastewater, bathing waters and protection of aquatic life. In addition there is significant focus on reduction of flooding due to insufficient wastewater system capacity and creating efficiencies and energy recovery in operations, with benefits in terms of climate change resilience and mitigation.

Primary Objectives
- Environmental Protection
- Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency
Transversal Indicators
- Climate Action
- Economic and Social Cohesion
