Synopsis
Balancing risk in the face of limited resources is an essential aspect of all investment planning. It has become an issue of particular importance to the latest 5 yearly periodic review (PR04) for the Water Industry in England and Wales, prompted by the challenge set down by the Regulator Ofwat to:“Demonstrate how the flow of services to customers can be maintained at least cost in terms of both capital maintenance and operating expenditure, recognising the trade off between cost and risk, whilst ensuring compliance with statutory duties.”

This simple statement has posed a number of technical challenges. This paper describes pragmatic yet robust solutions to the challenges set by the Regulator to balance investment with risk. The first of these considers how to manage data uncertainty in water resources planning, the second how to optimise whole-life investment strategies for network assets and the third how to balance investment with service risk for water treatment assets. The paper goes on to describe the data and processes needed to support risk-based asset management in the future.
