Water companies in England and Wales were privatised in 1989 by the British government making this a unique situation. This sector is known as "regulated". Today, the United Kingdom and Chile are the only countries to have undergone such a privatisation.
Veolia Water started investing in the U.K. in 1987
It operates three water supply companies and one inset appointment in England - Veolia Water Central, Veolia Water East, Veolia Water Southeast & Tidworth.
