Water Systems Overview: Scottish Water
Scottish Water serves more than 90% of Scotland's population and met drinking water standards in 99.91% of regulatory tests in 2025, but carries a drought deficit projected to grow from 60 to 240 Ml/d by 2050 without adaptation and has replaced 0.11% of its water mains a year over 2021–27. This overview sets out the resources, institutions, assets and service record behind those figures, and the 2027–33 price settlement now due on November 12, 2026.
