Brecon Brewing uses nearly three-quarters of a million litres of water every year, and its head brewer Buster Grant said: "In principle it must be a good plan on the basis that competition hopefully drives a free market that hopefully brings down costs to people like us. "I wouldn't say I'm in any way dissatisfied with what we have at the moment - Brecon water is world renowned. "But water is a very substantial part of our costs - if competition brings down the cost to me then I would have to look at that," he added. Welsh Water managing director Nigel Annett, who was responsible for developing its business model, said: "Being not for profit means that we can raise finance for investment very cheaply. "If we have competition, that brings all sorts of risks to bear - if that increases the cost of finance, that means higher bills. "So our argument would be that being not-for-profit, being a public service company, being integrated, is the best way to give customers the very best value and also the very best service as well." Professor Huw Dixon from Cardiff Business School said international studies had shown that competition played a key role in driving efficiency and lowering costs for consumers. He said: "If you're in a monopoly, you don't have the same incentive to innovate and to cut costs as you do if you face competition. "If you face competition then you have to, otherwise you die, or you diminish in size quite rapidly, whereas if you have a statutory monopoly then you don't face that threat. "If companies don't have competition, then they tend to become a bit lazy, they don't pay as much attention to keeping costs down, and they just try and raise prices as much as they can, and there's less to stop them. "With competition, that forces them to keep prices down, and they need to keep their costs down relative to their competitors". If passed, the Water Bill will have a major impact on way the industry works. It will allow all business, charity and public sector customers to switch their water supplier in order to increase competition, and make it easier for new companies to enter the water market."
