Culloden Estate, Belfast, UK
Water NI are pleased to announce that the 5th Annual Conference has been strategically timed to examine the strategy, guidance and delivery plans for PC15.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Now in its fifth year, Water NI is the only conference that brings all the major stakeholders together to discuss the current and future pressures facing the sector. Timed just ahead of the next price control (PC15) the event will again bring together over 140 senior representatives from government, the environmental and economic regulators, utilities, contractors and consumer bodies. PC15 will be the third price control for NI Water and will cover a longer six-year period from 2015-16 to 2020-21. While closing the efficiency and performance gap between NI Water and comparator companies remains a dominant issue, PC15 will also address longer-term sustainability issues.

• Lead compliance – where does the buck stop?
