What Hydrionis does not hold for this company
These profiles cover water resources performance only. Hydrionis holds no treatment works, reservoir or network asset records for South Staffs Water, no pollution incidents or enforcement history, no capital investment programme, and no wastewater or storm overflow performance — none of which is published in the return these figures come from.
The longer leakage record exists: Ofwat holds company leakage back to 1992. It is not held here because ofwat.gov.uk refuses automated requests, and Hydrionis publishes what it can retrieve through its governed ingestion runner rather than what it can retype.
