Water supply and sanitation in England and Wales

Public water supply and sanitation in England and Wales has been characterised by universal access and generally good service quality. Salient features of the sector in the United Kingdom compared to other developed countries is the full privatisation of service provision and the pioneering of independent economic regulation in the sector in Europe. There has been a substantial increase in real tariffs between 1989 and 2005, whilst independent assessments place the cost of water provision in the UK as higher than most other major countries in the EU. The government body responsible for water regulation, together with the water companies, have claimed improvements in service quality during the same period.
== Water resources and uses ==

On average, only about 10 per cent of freshwater resources in England and Wales are abstracted. Water companies abstract almost half of this amount. The remainder is used for cooling power plants, other industries, fish farming and other uses. Water companies use mainly surface water (two thirds), but also groundwater (one third).
The amount of water available in England and Wales to meet the needs of people and to sustain the water environment varies greatly between different places and seasons, and from one year to another. Parts of Wales and the English Lake District are well endowed with water, while water is scarce in parts of Eastern and Southeastern England. Parts of England were affected by severe drought in 1976, 1995 and 2005-2007.〔BBC:(Drought in England )〕〔Environment Agency:(Water resources in England and Wales - current state and future pressures ), December 2008〕
Household water use in England and Wales stood at about 145 litres/capita/day in 2008/09.〔Environment Agency:(Household water use in England and Wales, 1998/99 to 2008/09 ), accessed on October 14, 2010〕 Total water supply for domestic and commercial customers in England and Wales was 14.5 million cubic metres per day in 2009.〔Water UK:(Waterfacts: The water industry today ), accessed on October 14, 2010〕
