Anglian Water Group's principal business is Anglian Water, the group's regulated water and sewerage company, which supplies water and water recycling services to around seven million customers in the East of England and Hartlepool.  

Anglian Water Services Ltd (Anglian Water) is the largest water and water recycling company in England and Wales by geographic area. From the Broads of Norfolk to the hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, fast-growing cities to the dramatic Suffolk coastlines, our region is highly diverse. We employ around 6,000 people and many more through our alliances.  

Underpinned by our Purpose, to bring social and environmental prosperity to the region we serve, our position as a supplier of an essential public service presents us with both the opportunity and the responsibility to do more for our region. Water underpins economies and businesses; it impacts the quality of green and blue spaces, and it is a key enabler for growth, particularly in our fast-growing region.  

This is why our investment programme has increased more than three-fold, from less than £3 billion in AMP1 (the first five-year planning period after the water industry was privatised in 1989) to over £10 billion for AMP8 (2025-2030). Since 2020, we’ve invested £963 million in our capital programme, our highest investment yet, bringing us to £2.7 billion for the AMP to date. 

In 2023/24, we saw an increase in our Regulatory Capital Value (RCV) and, our robust financial position was recognised by Ofwat in its 2023 financial resilience report, where we received the highest rating possible.  

In October 2023, we submitted our AMP8 plans to Ofwat, our biggest proposal to date. With over £9 billion earmarked, our plans will see us increase capacity across our water and water recycling assets to accommodate growth and tackle issues such as a flooding, alongside a huge amount of investment towards our zero escapes strategy. £4 billion is proposed to deliver more for the environment, including natured-based solutions and working with partners to improve ecological health. We’re also committed to unlocking sustainable growth in our region, which will see us futureproofing water resources for both today and tomorrow through the delivery of major infrastructure projects, such as our strategic pipeline, alongside two new reservoirs.
