When it does, it doesn’t enforce them.
And OFWAT have bent to the will of these private companies recently, as if they’re in the pockets of the water companies!

Literally of no use, it would seem.

It is clear OFWAT has failed consumers and country alike.

Time to look for a better option that won’t.

Local councils have the regulatory powers to fine water companies who daily to maintain infrastructure, including causing potholes, vehicle damage, and continuous noise nuisance to residents in public streets/ roads. But they prefer to cosy up to overpaid water company executives instead.

OFWAT is not fit for purpose. It should do it's job or be dismantled.

OFWAT needs replacing with a watchdog that has teeth and can impose fines and limit profits, bonuses, shareholder dividends, and customer charges.
But I'd also rather see the water utilities brought under public ownership.
