About — Water (Regulation) Act 2005
The Water (Regulation) Act 2005 is a UK statute that modernises water legislation, creating a regulatory framework for supply and wastewater services in England and Wales. It established Ofwat as an independent economic regulator to protect consumers and ensure service standards. In 2020 Ofwat capped household water‑bill rises at 2.5 % despite higher costs.
