Dow Jones Description
Severn Trent was formed in 1974 as a regional, state-owned water authority based in Birmingham and responsible for water management and supply, and waste water treatment and disposal, in the catchment areas of two of Britain's greatest rivers - the Severn and the Trent. It was from these rivers that it took its name. In the 18th century, responsibility for water supply and waste water treatment was shared between local Government and private companies. Suppliers of water treatment and waste water disposal each had different powers, charges and resources for investing in pipes (many of which were made of stone or even wood).

There was serious lack of investment in the distribution infrastructure and smaller undertakings did not lend themselves to economies of scale.
