It is also responsible for maintaining and operating the public water supply and/or sewerage systems. Although “insets” are also undertakers, the term “incumbent” does not include inset appointees for the purpose of describing the competitive market for providing services to new developments. However, inset appointees may be considered as incumbents in the context of the water supply and sewerage licensing regime because non-household customers will be eligible to switch suppliers in the reformed retail market.’

		+	Where an inset appointee or inset is: ‘A company that replaces the undertaker for a specific geographic area within the area of an existing undertaker. This usually happens where the customers are “unserved” (such as on a new development) or qualify as large users (i.e. they expect to use more than 50Ml in England or 250Ml in Wales – for example a paper mill). The inset regime is sometimes known as new appointments and variations (NAVs). However, the term “NAV” also refers to a variation of the appointment area of an incumbent water company, for example when incumbent water companies agree to change the boundaries between them.’

	There are both English and Welsh undertakers. An English undertaker is ‘an undertaker whose appointment area is wholly or mainly in England’ while a Welsh undertaker is ‘an undertaker whose appointment area is wholly or mainly in Wales.’ In both cases, undertakers are generally appointed on river basin catchments rather than political boundaries, so some English undertakers have appointment areas that extend into Wales while some Welsh undertakers have English customers.
