New UK testing facilities could speed up implementation of water innovation as Ofwat awards funding to Regulation 31 challenge finalists
Eight finalists to receive £50,000 each from Ofwat’s Water Innovation Implementation Programme to explore expansion of UK-based Regulation 31 testing capabilities
Ofwat awards 8 finalists £50,000 each to expand UK Regulation 31 drinking water testing capacity, tackling a key bottleneck to sector innovation.
Why the Best Water Solutions Start With the Right Partnerships
The water sector has always relied on collaboration - between utilities, contractors, manufacturers and regulators. But AMP8 is raising the stakes. With record investment, tightening efficiency targets and pressure to deliver at pace, the relationships that underpin delivery matter more than ever.

Data Valued
Water companies already apply asset management rigour to pipes, pumps, and treatment works. The same discipline, applied to data, would change how they plan investment, defend regulatory submissions, and absorb the demands of AMP8. Here is how to get started.

My response to the Workforce Challenge panel — Infrastructure Summit, County Hall, London.
Adam Cave from Murray McIntosh shares his thoughts on the UK water sector not having enough engineers to deliver AMP8. Drawing on 12 years of recruitment experience, he unpacks the structural workforce crisis that a recent panel discussion didn't fully confront.
The UK water sector faces a critical white-collar engineering shortage. Retraining won't fix it. The salary gap is structural. AMP8 is at risk.
Water scarcity is a housing problem. Infrastructure-led efficiency is the answer
The government's 1.5 million homes target has a water problem. Research by Public First for CIWEM found that water scarcity could leave 61,600 homes unbuilt across the East and Southeast alone – a £25 billion shortfall. In Cambridgeshire, the constraint is already live: 9,000 homes delayed and counting.
