UNITED UTILITIES WATER LIMITED, WA5 3LP : Companies House Number 02366678

Executive summary

United Utilities Water Limited is a leading UK Water and Sewerage Company operating as the regulated, ring-fenced subsidiary of the FTSE 100 United Utilities Group. While it benefits from a stable, monopoly-driven revenue stream and strong capital market access, its performance is inextricably tied to Ofwat's rigorous AMP cycles and the escalating capital demands of environmental compliance. The company remains a sector heavyweight, though it must navigate the same industry-wide headwinds of high leverage, inflationary cost pressures, and intense public scrutiny over storm overflows and river health.
