Northumbrian Water
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, when does the Department expect the Northumbria Water/OFWAT plan that was due to be published in December 2025, to be made public.
- Answer
-
The department understands that the action in question relates to Ofwat’s June 2025 enforcement case concerning Northumbrian Water’s management of its sewage treatment works and sewerage network.
This required the company to submit remediation plans to Ofwat in December 2025 for agreement, and Ofwat has since been in discussions with the company to ensure these plans meet all requirements.
Under the agreed undertakings, Northumbrian Water must provide Ofwat with regular monitoring reports on progress, including an initial report in June 2026 and further updates every six months. The company is also required to publish progress updates for customers and stakeholders on its website.
