Our Promise
The Youth Board
The Bristol Water Challenge Panel
The Bristol Water Challenge Panel provides assurance to the economic water regulator Ofwat that Bristol Water has incorporated the preferences and priorities of customers in its business plan for the period 2020 to 2025.
The Bristol Water Challenge Panel contributed to the design of the research programme to find out the answer to key questions. We needed to ensure the customers view was represented in the report.
To download a copy of the Bristol Water Challenge Panel Report on the Business Plan for 2020 - 2025 see the resources section for this and other reports.

This was the third year of Bristol Water’s Youth Board and their involvement in planning our future operations. We had 18 future customers take part in a ten-day virtual panel, with activities designed to make their voices heard at an executive level and this provided them a unique opportunity to kickstart their career in the world of business.
