Water Bill, Glossary: water terms, published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs in November 2013, describes the Consumer Council for Water (CCWater) as: ‘A statutory body established by the Water Act 2003 to monitor and advise on consumer issues. CCWater handles some customer complaints about incumbent water companies, inset appointees and licensees.’
