The BBC understands Ofwat is considering permitting bigger bill increases for some companies when it makes a final decision in December, to reflect higher financing costs.

Daniel Yukelson, executive director of the Apartment Assn. of Greater Los Angeles, said “people don’t go through the permitting process and spend thousands of dollars on a remodel just to try and evict people.”

“This is analogous to permitting a shopping center,” said Lorelei Oviatt, Kern County’s director of planning and natural resources.

One of the reasons that Ofwat is considering permitting bigger bill increases is to reflect higher financing costs, the BBC understands.
