Ofwat agrees to limited response from Severn Trent

摘要

A proposal by Severn Trent Water to limit its response to the draft determinations to just a handful of critical issues has been accepted by Ofwat. Severn Trent chief executive Liv Gar-field outlined the proposal in a letter to Oiwat last month, saying that focusing the company's representations on a small number of material issues to Severn Trent "allows sufficient air time for our critical issues". In the letter, Garfield said: "We appreciate that Ofwat has all 14 'slow track' DOs to complete in only a matter of weeks, and there remains a number of significant issues to be finalised, during the final stage of the price review process." Ofwat portfolio director Giles Stevens, replying to Garfield's letter, said the regulator welcomed the "overall approach of focused representations".
