This MCC piece sets the scene for a US–UK comparison series, highlighting why cross-country learning matters as both systems face ageing infrastructure, climate pressures, and rising expectations. Explore the governance and market differences, and what they mean for future reform choices.
The paper outlines key points of comparison between the US and UK water sectors, including ownership and governance structures, the role of regional planning and partnerships, and how innovation emerges in different institutional settings. It frames the value of looking at state-by-state US variation to identify adaptable approaches, and positions the series as a practical contribution to building more resilient, efficient, and sustainable water services in England and Wales.
