Network Access Code
Welcome to the new South Staffs Water Network Access Code for licensees.
The Water Act 2003 has established a legal framework for competition for non-household customers using more than 50 Ml (megalitres) per annum at a single site that is connected to an undertakers' supply system. To facilitate the introduction of this new competition framework, South Staffs Water has developed its access code, based upon template issued by OFWAT, detailing the proposed guidelines and processes a licensee should adopt for use of our supply system and to ensure all customers are properly protected.
The Code seeks to ensure that, as far as possible, access to the supply system is on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms.
South Staffs Water Plc is required to keep its access code under review and it will therefore continue to evolve and be refined over time. The code provides an indication of the processes that may apply. Actual processes will be drawn up in an Access Agreement which will be devised on case-specific grounds and which may differ from the principles of this Access Code.
