United Utilities PLC

The complainant has requested telemetry alarm signalling data. United Utilities Water Limited (‘the public authority’) refused the request for several reasons. The Commissioner’s decision is that: the requested information is environmental information and so the public authority was obliged to deal with the request, the request is not manifestly unreasonable and so the public authority isn’t entitled to rely upon regulation 12(4)(b) to refuse it and the requested information doesn’t engage regulation 12(5)(b) and so the public authority cannot withhold the requested information under the exception. The Commissioner requires the public authority to take the following steps to ensure compliance with the legislation: disclose the information that’s being requested, in line with the single objective reading of the request that’s outlined in this notice.

EIR 12(4)(b): Complaint upheld EIR 12(5)(b): Complaint upheld EIR 2(1): Complaint upheld

Decision notice: 300506
