  1. Long Term Delivery Strategy Customer Engagement

  2. Yorkshire Water and all other water and sewerage companies work in 5-year planning cycles. How water companies plan Every 5-years, water and sewerage companies create business plans which outline what they will deliver in the coming 5-year period, including setting targets on improving areas of service. These business plans are shaped by customers and eventually approved by Ofwat, the water industry regulator. Yorkshire Water are currently creating their business plan for 2025-2030.

  3. The water sector faces a series of long-term challenges, such as climate change and population growth, these feature in all planning cycles. About the Long Term Delivery Strategy To meet these challenges, Ofwat have asked companies to set out their five-year business plan in the context of a 25-year long term delivery strategy (LTDS). This is to ensure that what is delivered in the short term will provide long-term value for customers, communities, and the environment. The focus of this research is on the draft Long Term Delivery Strategy (LTDS) created by Yorkshire Water.

  4. A thriving Yorkshire: right for our customers, and right for the environment. LTDS Our Vision: Vision A thriving Yorkshire means operating in a region famous for its stunning beauty and natural environment, where communities can grow and prosper in a flourishing economy. Where anchor institutions like Yorkshire Water invest in infrastructure, create jobs, and support skills development and education and work in partnership with other organisations across the region to achieve common goals such as flooding. Right for our customers means that we will provide safe, clean, great tasting water and return wastewater safely to the environment. In providing these services we will make sure we deliver good value for money, which will mean bills that everyone can afford. We also know that our customers have a diverse range of needs, so we will provide first-class customer service and make sure that we are easy to deal with. Right for the environment means taking care of our precious natural resources and carefully managing our impact on the natural environment of Yorkshire. We know that our first priority is preventing harm to the environment and to keep wastewater in the pipes. We must also protect our water resources, reduce our carbon emissions to net zero, and invest in modern and sustainable infrastructure.

  5. LTDS Our ambition for 2050 sets out how our vision will be delivered in terms of long-term performance outcomes for customers and the environment. Ambition Ambition headlines: Secure, safe clean water supplies Deliver safe, clean, great tasting water and ensure we can continue to meet water demand in future. First-class customer service Provide a tailored, reliable service and make sure that we are easy to interact with, in whatever way our customers choose to get in touch. Bills everyone can afford Deliver value for money to our customers, keep bills as low as possible, and offer the right support to customers who struggle to pay. Modern & sustainable infrastructure Build and operate efficient, climate-resilient infrastructure to provide reliable services for our customers. Net zero carbon emissions Reduce carbon emissions to net zero across our business and supply chain. Looking after our natural environment Reduce pollution and sewer flooding, improve river quality, and enhance biodiversity across the region.
