Looks like Northumbrian Water are in line for a bid.

The Press Association doesn't give any details but the whisper is that it's from a Canadian teacher's pension fund.

Lyonnaise des Eaux!

Seems a bit more complicated than that............

In 1995 the Company was acquired by Lyonnaise des Eaux for £823m.[3]. In 2003 Suez, who had acquired Lyonnaise des Eaux, sold 75% of Northumbrian Water to a Consortium of private investors.[4] The Company was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 2003.[5] NWG's present Chairman is Sir Derek Wanless. Sir Derek is the former 'ousted' CEO of NatWest Bank, and a former Non-Executive Director (and Chairman of Risk Committee) at the Northern Rock Bank.[6]
