Anglian Water Services Limited

The complainant has requested Anglian Water (AW) to disclose copies of a 104 agreement and information relating to any assessment or monitoring of their local sewer system. Initially, AW applied regulation 12(4)(d) (information in the course of completion) of the EIR and argued that the telemetry data it holds does not fall under the EIR. During the Commissioner’s investigation the 104 agreement and the telemetry data were disclosed to the complainant. The only withheld information at the time of writing was some personal data contained in the two versions of the 104 agreement, to which regulation 13 (personal data) of the EIR was applied. The Commissioner’s decision is that regulation 13 of the EIR applies and AW breached regulations 5(2) and 14(4) of the EIR. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
