Lisa Kerford, Managing Director from Aptus Utilities said “Naturally, developers are wary of new processes and opportunities, that vary from traditional and well-established methods. The business has been working closely with Independent Water Networks Ltd (IWNL), which is part of the BUUK Infrastructure group of companies, to provide the benefit of NAVs to their client base for approximately two years. The upstream water source and wastewater journey offsite remains the responsibility of the incumbent network operator, much the same as with gas or electricity.Īptus Utilities has also opened discussions with incumbent water companies in their operating regions, United Utilities, Severn Trent Water, South Staffordshire Water, Northumberland Water, Yorkshire Water and Anglian Water, in order to establish the process with each company. It owns the water network and is responsible for the supply of potable water and removal of wastewater for the residents on the site. The NAV is the local water company for a development.

New appointments and variations or NAVs, are limited companies which provide a water and/or waste water service to customers in an area which was previously provided by the incumbent monopoly provider.
