Scottish Water is a state-owned company in Scotland that provides water and sewerage services. Unlike in England and Wales, water and sewerage provision in Scotland has not been privatised.
It is funded by charges paid by its customers. The current organisation was founded in 2002 by a merger of West of Scotland Water, East of Scotland Water and North of Scotland Water and provides its services to over 2.2 million households.
The three authorities were merged by the Water Industry (Scotland) Act 2002, an act of the Parliament of Scotland.
