Business plan 2020-2025

How we created our business plan

To put our business plan together we carried out our biggest ever consultation with customers, with more than 140,000 people providing feedback through surveys and independent focus groups giving their views on bills and services.

In line with our social and public purpose, our business plan shows how the value we create is shared between investors and the people, businesses and communities we serve.

An independent group, the Wessex Water Customer Challenge Group (CCG), ensured customer views were properly reflected when it came to developing our plan.

A summary of our business plan

From 2020 to 2025, we aim to deliver:

the best overall service standards of all the UK’s water companies
our largest ever investment programme to secure the resilience of our services and the water environment
a reduction in bills achieved through innovation and efficiency
an extension of help to the most vulnerable so that our bills are affordable for all
a more sustainable water management system that will benefit everyone.

We will also share a greater proportion of our success and do so transparently, by reinvesting in the resilience of our local communities through an independent body.
