Dŵr Cymru has performed well in terms of improving its environmental performance, service delivery
and relationships with its customers and stakeholders. Between 2001 and 2005, the equivalent of
2.56million people were connected to sewage treatment works. The Green Sea/Môr Glas initiative
involved allying the company’s £650 million coastal sewerage programme from 1995 to 2000, with £40
million of targeted spending to ensure that all 71 designated bathing areas reach the EU guideline
standard by 2000. In 2004, all 78 designated bathing areas met the mandatory standard and 86%
reached the guideline level. In 2003, 98% of rivers were of good/fair quality, compared with 90% in
1990. Distribution losses have been reduced from 410Ml/day in 1996/97 to 230Ml/day in 2004/05,
meeting Ofwat’s targets.
