Notes for editors
     
1.   Glas Cymru is the 'not-for-profit' company established in 2000 to acquire 
     and operate Dwr Cymru Welsh Water in the best interests of its customers. 
     It is a 'company limited by guarantee' registered under the Companies Act 
     1985.  Glas Cymru has no shareholders.  Instead, members carry out an
     important corporate governance role but they do not receive dividends nor 
     do they have any other financial interest in the Company.  This corporate 
     structure ensures that all financial surpluses generated are retained and 
     reinvested for the benefit of Welsh Water and its customers.
     
2.   Alison Carnwath was appointed a director of Glas Cymru in July 2000. She is 
     also a Non-Executive Director of Friends Provident Group Plc, Gallaher 
     Group Plc and Land Securities Plc.
     
3.   In June, the Board announced the appointment of James Strachan as a
     non-executive director.
