Scottish Water shows continued progress
26/11/2003
Figures, which show an improvement in Scottish Water's performance, were welcomed today by Minister for Environment and Rural Development.
The figures are contained in Scottish Water's Interim Accounts for 2003-04, published today.
Mr Finnie said:
"The company faces considerable challenges in meeting the Water Industry Commissioner's (WIC) efficiency targets by 2005-06 whilst improving drinking water quality and environmental compliance.
"These interim accounts demonstrate continued progress during the first half of 2003-04 against these objectives. They follow findings by the WIC that Scottish Water made a good start in 2002-03, with its operations becoming 10 per cent more efficient."
