In 1993, the merger of two pre-existing trade associations saw the creation of British Water, which has become the leading trade association representing the interests of the water and wastewater industry in the UK and overseas.
British Water lobbies governments and regulators on behalf of its members and provides vital information on home and overseas water and wastewater markets - how much is being spent, by whom, where, when, how and on what.
As well as actively promoting best practice, British Water represents the interests of the UK water and wastewater industry on UK and European regulations and legislation, terms and conditions of contract and procurement practice, and in the creation of European and International Standards.
Representing the industry collectively to government, regulators, other institutions, customers and the media, British Water is recognised as the voice for the industry, able to ensure that the message gets through where the representations of a single, commercial enterprise would invariably fail to register.
