Meeting the rising environmental challenges to improve water quality in rivers, seas and streams will take novel thinking, nature-based solutions and flexibility from regulators. Welsh Water's head of wastewater discusses the company's approach, while Ofwat explains what will be expected at PR24 of companies proposing more blue-green schemes.

A single social tariff for financially vulnerable water customers is “even more important” in the context of a wider cost of living crisis, CCW has said. The consumer body is currently working with Defra and the Welsh government to establish how to implement a scheme and what it will look like, with the aim of having it in place for the start of the next price review period in 2025.
Ofwat has named 13 projects that will be awarded a share of £5.2 million from its innovation fund for the second year of its Water Breakthrough Challenge. The projects will receive between £155,000 and £760,000 each to develop collaborative cross-sector innovations that improve water quality, reduce pollution and raise customer service levels as part of the competition's Catalyst Stream.
