In response to the interim report from the Independent Water Commission, David Hawkes, head of policy at the Institution of Civil Engineers, said:
"The interim report from the Independent Water Commission sends a clear signal: the current system isn’t working, and bold reform is needed.
"The ICE welcomes the commission’s recognition that stronger regulation and a long-term strategy are essential.
"Such a strategy must encompass improving both asset health and water infrastructure's climate resilience.
"Setting out a clear path will boost investor confidence and help attract the finance needed to rebuild trust and deliver for the public.
"The ICE looks forward to the final report's recommendations, in particular how to strengthen system leadership across the sector."
