 | The Office of Water Services (Ofwat) is the body which is responsible for economic regulation of the privatised water industry in England and Wales. |
| Ofwat was set up in 1989 at the time when the 10 Water Authorities in England and Wales were privatised by flotation on the stock market. |
| The resulting companies are known as the water and sewerage companies, to distinguish them from around a dozen smaller companies which only provide water services, which were already in private hands in 1989 (having remained in private ownership since their creation in the nineteenth century). |
