Information assurance

Our board is committed to providing all our customers and stakeholders with transparent, easy to understand, complete and accurate information that meets their requirements, so they can judge and compare our service performance and how we are protecting the environment.

Each year we review the strengths and weaknesses of the information we provide and how it is assured.

Our draft information assurance plan sets out our current position and the additional steps we expect to take to provide high quality information this year. We are currently consulting on this.

We welcome any further comments and suggestions about our information provision from customers and stakeholder groups at any time throughout the year, by email to assurance@wessexwater.co.uk or in writing to Matt Greenfield, Director of Economic Regulation, Wessex Water, Claverton Down, Bath BA2 7WW.
