The Scottish water and sewerage sector is a £1.2bn industry that improves infrastructure, creates jobs and supports livelihoods across Scotland.
It’s our job to make sure that Scotland’s water is sustainable both today and for generations to come. We do this by ensuring that Scottish Water has the funding it needs to:
- continue to deliver a flourishing and improving aquatic environment, and drinking water to be proud of;
- ensure that its assets – such as pipes and sewers – are better able to withstand future unexpected events;
- make the transition it needs to achieve the ambitious target of net zero emissions by 2040.
The work that we do is wide-ranging – from benchmarking Scottish Water’s costs and challenging Scottish Water to improve its performance, to ensuring that customers’ views are at the heart of its decision making.
