  1  The annual price limits and the average price limits are set out in Table 1 of this document.

  2  The annual price limits were published in Table 1 of Future water and sewerage charges 2000-05 Draft determinations in July 1999.

  3  The average for the price limits is the geometric average of the annual price limits.

  For North West Water and Wessex Water, the price limits are higher than would otherwise be the case in order to accommodate the financial constraints that result from the increased scale and pace of the environmental programmes now required to meet ministerial objectives. Customers of North West Water and Wessex Water are, therefore, paying more than would otherwise be the case to finance the additional expenditure.
