Water companies are commercial entities. It is not appropriate to comment on the position of specific companies. However, as you would expect, the Government prepares for a range of scenarios across its regulated industries – including water – as any government would. It is the Defra Secretary of State’s responsibility to develop these plans for the water industry and it would not be appropriate to publish these plans.
