SMEs in London Buck the Trend in Switching Water Supplier
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
Since the water market was deregulated in April this year, just 1.4 per cent of SMEs nationally have switched water supplier, data from MOSL has revealed (which reports to OFWAT & DEFRA).
However, 38 per cent of those that have switched water supplier are from London says complementary research by Wheatley Solutions.

Wheatley, the UK’s most experience supplier of software for managing data flows in the utilities sector, polled 500 SMEs nationally in May 2017 and found that London tops the water switching SME poll. The next most active switching region was Yorkshire and the Humber accounting for 15 per cent of all switching activity across England in April.
These two regions combined with the West Midlands and South East regions, accounted for almost three quarters (73 per cent) of all switching activity in the first month of deregulation.
42 per cent of the poll’s respondents remained unaware of the water market’s deregulation.
