Welcome to the Customer Scrutiny Panel (CSP) for Portsmouth Water
With origins dating back to 2012, The Customer Scrutiny Panel (CSP) is an independent group established to ensure that Portsmouth Water customers have been consulted on a range of important matters and significant plans from Portsmouth Water. As the local water supplier, we care about customers’ views, particularly on areas that have impact on levels of service, the environment or bills.
The purpose of the panel is to have informed scrutiny for a sustainable and equitable water future for Portsmouth Water & its customers.
Membership of the Group
The CSP comprises a range of key stakeholders including regulators, customer representatives, local government elected members and members who play key roles within the communities served by Portsmouth Water. The current members are listed below.

The Role of the CSP
- Reviewing the performance against each one of Portsmouth Water’s commitments and Outcome Delivery Incentives in its Business Plan
- Producing a report to the Portsmouth Water Board annually to summarise The Panel’s findings on the above, which will accompany the Risk and Compliance Statement or Assurance Report produced by the company in its Annual Report. This report is also shared with customers and stakeholders.
- Advising on and monitoring the effectiveness of the ongoing engagement Portsmouth Water has with its customers in each community, recognizing the diversity of all socio-economic groups that it supplies with water.
