UK to overhaul water system with new regulator, inspections, and oversight to tackle pollution and bills.
The UK government is introducing sweeping water reforms, creating a single new regulator with powers to mandate regular "MOT-style" inspections of water infrastructure, end self-assessments by companies, and enforce accountability through surprise checks and performance plans.
A chief engineer will be embedded in the regulator to ensure independent oversight, while new ombudsman powers and efficiency measures aim to improve service, reduce pollution, and protect consumers.
The changes follow public backlash over rising bills, sewage spills, and infrastructure failures, though critics argue the reforms don’t address the core issue of privatization.
A new water reform bill will follow, with the transition expected to take years.
