Improvement Programmes


Water companies, with the agreement of the Inspectorate, can put in place programmes of remedial action to improve drinking water quality when ever these are necessary.

Programmes of work arise in three ways:-

  • as a result of the process for setting price limits for a five year period. (e.g. the PRO4 process described above has given rise to 287 AMP4 programmes of work);
  • as a result of enforcement for contraventions of the drinking water standards for parameters in the regulations; and
  • as a result of enforcement for issues arising out of an assessment by the Inspectorate of a drinking water quality incident or technical audit.
