The Company was informed on 14 February 2007 that Northumbrian Water Share
Scheme Trustees Limited (the Trustee of the NWG Long Term Incentive Plan) sold
or transferred 10,557 ordinary 10 pence shares on 14 February 2007 as a result
of the exercise of LTIP awards by people who are neither directors of the
Company nor persons discharging managerial responsibility ("PDMRs"). The
disposal of these shares is pursuant to a conditional award of shares made on 27
January 2004.


The Company was informed today that the Trustee sold or transferred a further
5,487 shares today, 15 February 2007 following a further exercise of LTIP awards
made on 27 January 2004 to a person who is neither a director nor a PDMR of the
Company.


Following these disposals, the Trustee holds 777,020 shares, representing 0.15%
of the Company's issued share capital.


The Trustee holds these shares in order to satisfy awards made under the
Company's LTIP, and so John Cuthbert and Chris Green, as executive directors of
the Company, and Ceri Jones and Graham Neave, as PDMRs of the Company, are
potential beneficiaries of these shares.


This announcement is made in accordance with the requirements of DTR 3.1.4 R(1).
