                        Anglian Water Services announces
                     draft business scenarios for 2005-2010


As part of Ofwat's periodic review of prices, Anglian Water Services, part of
AWG Plc, today announces its draft business scenarios for the period 2005-10.

In the three scenarios requested by Ofwat, Anglian Water has identified future
investment options and proposed a preferred strategy to improve services to
customers, cater for growth and, most importantly, to ensure that the underlying
infrastructure, particularly the pipes and sewers, is properly maintained.
Anglian Water believes that this programme would need #2.7bn capital investment
over the next five years.

The submission of draft business scenarios is the first stage in a review
process that will run until early 2005. Customers, as well as other
stakeholders, are invited to comment on the proposals.

Ofwat is expected to announce final price limits in November 2004, which will
then take effect from April 2005.
