Thames Water is among firms being closely monitored due to concerns over their performance.
Thames, Southern, SES and South East have been named as the water firms with the worst financial performance in the UK.
"In short, our performance was not as we - or our customers - wanted it to be. Despite this, we are in a robust financial position and maintain a strong liquidity position, including £3.6bn of cash and committed funding," a spokesperson said. Ofwat said it would keep a closer watch on four other suppliers with potential problems: Affinity Water, Northumbrian Water, Portsmouth Water and Yorkshire Water.
The regulator said firms paid out a total of £1.4bn in dividends to shareholders in the most recent financial year, but that there were "some companies that did not fully meet our expectation in explaining dividend decisions and payments". The company's future came under the spotlight this summer when it emerged it was in talks to secure extra funding, and the firm's chief executive Sarah Bentley stepped down after just two years in the job.

The Global WASH Cluster estimates that an additional 30,000 litres of water per day is required to meet the critical needs of the people in Gaza. The lack of water and sanitation has also resulted in cases of chickenpox and scabies, as well as an increase in pests like rats and cockroaches.
