Conclusion (the committee's words)
We asked if water companies could increase their charges if customers wanted this in order to finance infrastructure investment. Ofwat told us that, in setting the revenues that companies can collect from their customers over the last five years, it looked at customer research. Where customers gave strong support that was well founded and properly researched, Ofwat would allow the additional investment proposed. But Ofwat insisted that it had a responsibility to test that what is being put forward represents the right level of investment to deliver a scheme efficiently.10 Tackling leakage
