1974 the Northumbrian Water Authority was formed, taking responsibility for all of the sewerage functions and some of the water supply functions of 81 local authorities and undertakings in the Northumbrian region. Responsibility for water supply in some areas of the region remained with statutory water companies, namely Hartlepool Water Company, Newcastle and Gateshead Water Co and Sunderland and South Shields Water Co.
The Authority inherited commitments to two large capital projects: the Tyneside Sewerage Scheme, and the Kielder Water Transfer Scheme.
1989 Northumbrian Water Group was formed as the new holding company, with the functions of the Northumbrian Water Authority relating to water supply and the provision of sewerage services (and certain, other, non-appointed services) carried out by an operating subsidiary, Northumbrian Water. It was then privatised.
1995 Lyonnaise des Eaux wanted to acquire Northumbrian Water Group and merge Northumbrian Water with North East Water; this triggered an automatic reference to the MMC.[1]
