Education Service Update
For many years we've provided a variety of education services to North West schools, ranging from the water cycle to climate change, for pupils of all ages.
Every five years, the water industry regulator Ofwat sets the prices water companies can charge customers for the services they provide. These prices were published in November 2009 and for us to meet the expectations set by Ofwat, we'll have to make a number of substantial cost efficiencies between 2010 and 2015. This is exacerbated by the on-going cost pressures brought about by the continuing economic downturn. Consequently, we took the very difficult decision to end the provision of our classroom based education service on March 31st 2010.
Some of the materials that we use have been published and we hope you will be able to make use of these in the absence of a visit to our classroom.
