Abstract

This PSIRU Brief shows that water privatisation in England and Wales has led to a concerning increase in water poverty, and that economic regulator Ofwat is part of the problem. It argues that renationalisation is needed to tackle water poverty. An edited version of this PSIRU Brief has been published in Letters – General Election 2017, The Guardian, Monday 22 May 2017, p. 26 (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/may/21/privatisation-water-poverty-and-leaks).
