The Water (Special Measures) Bill makes provision for new measures to hold water companies accountable, to improve their operations and reduce the number of pollution incidents in the water sector. The IA covers ten measures to deliver the Governments manifesto commitments within the water sector.

The Department has identified the problems under consideration and provided satisfactory arguments for intervention using recent evidence where appropriate to highlight the scale of the problem and support the rationale for government intervention. The published IA can be foundhere

The Water (Special Measures) Bill was introduced to Parliament on 4 September 2024. The Bill IA was submitted to the RPC on 4 October 2024 for scrutiny and was subsequently, following requests from the House of Lords, published on 25 October 2024.
