Ofwat Refers Bristol Water Appeal To The CMA
The Water Services Regulation Authority (Ofwat) has referred an appeal from Bristol Water to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
This follows the water supply company's decision to reject the regulator's final determination on price limits for the period 2015 to 2020, mostly on the grounds that they were too low.
Ofwat is required to refer such appeals to the CMA under the Water Industry Act 1991.
The CMA's task is to determine the appeal and, if necessary, set new price limits. Its deadline is 3 September 2015.
