Annual performance report

Delivering our promises: a summary

Our Annual Performance Report (APR) shows how we’re getting on against the commitments we made in our business plan, reflecting on our performance in year one of AMP8 (our five-year business plan running from April 2025 to March 2030). We summarise this in this short video and in our customer summary microsite.

As part of our planning for the 2025−30 period, we spoke to thousands of people across the North West to understand what service they wanted from us. This highlighted key areas which were important features about the services we provide.

In order that people can now see whether we are fulfilling our key promises in these areas, we have a number of targets that we must work towards each year. Like all water companies, we earn outperformance payments, or pay underperformance penalties, if we meet or fail to meet these targets. All penalties and payments are set by the regulator, Ofwat.

This year we’ve continued to deliver services that customers value, with strong levels of customer satisfaction and improvements to our operational performance.
