In response to the Independent Water Commission’s final report, Sam Gould, director of policy and external affairs at the Institution of Civil Engineers said:
"The Institution of Civil Engineers welcomes the Water Commission’s comprehensive and unflinching report. Managing complex systems like our water networks requires a systems-based approach, long-term planning, and significant investment. The report acknowledges that bills will rise, but services need to improve as a consequence. This is essential for rebuilding public trust in the water industry.
"The commission's report sets out practical reforms: from a new national strategy and regional planning authorities to a single regulator and a stronger focus on maintaining assets and adapting infrastructure for climate change. Addressing these complex issues is going to be a big job, and the ICE is ready to support efforts that turn these recommendations into meaningful change."
