Scottish Water is a not for profit public limited company. The company has no shareholders, which means all profits go towards improving services for customers. They are a monopoly, meaning they are the only provider of water in Scotland. They also provide other utility services such as sewerage and waste management services.
They are a private company in the sense that they do not operate on behalf of any government department or local authority; however, their business model is regulated under legislation to ensure it meets certain standards and their accounts are published annually so that members of the public can scrutinize them.
In addition to this role as an independent entity providing essential services to customers across Scotland, Scottish Water has another important responsibility: it is also a registered charity! This means they must distribute at least 5% of annual revenue (the equivalent of £20 million) every year on charitable causes related directly or indirectly with water supply infrastructure maintenance within our nation’s communities.”
Scottish Water has a total of 6,500 employees in Scotland working across the country to provide water and wastewater services.
