Hartlepool
Water has announced proposals to invest £8.1 million in its services and
infrastructure from 2010 - 2015 and has committed to keep bill increases as low
as possible for its customers. Download

The announcement is the first stage of the
five-yearly price review process. Final investment plans and the amount
customers will be charged will be announced in November 2009. Hartlepool Water,
part of Anglian Water, is now seeking customers’ views on its plans.
The planned investment by Hartlepool Water focuses on maintaining the quality
and reliability of its services.
If accepted, this investment programme would
increase the average household bill for water services from £120 in 2010 to
£131 in 2015, an increase of 1.9 per cent per year excluding inflation.
Anglian Water Chief Executive Jonson Cox said:
“Our proposed investment plan addresses a range of issues and we are committed
to all aspects: environmental, economical and social. This plan comes at a time
when we are already seeing an increase in household bills, particularly for
energy. Although Hartlepool Water is also seeing a large increase in energy and
construction costs we aim to keep bill increases to an absolute minimum.”
Hartlepool Water is inviting its customers and
interested parties to comment on its draft plans before they are re-submitted
to Ofwat in April 2009. Customers can give their feedback directly or via the Consumer Council for Water.
