LONDON (Reuters) -The chief executive of British water regulator Ofwat, David Black, is to step down, Sky News reported on Tuesday.

It comes after environment minister Steve Reed said last month he had agreed to abolish Ofwat as part of a regulatory overhaul.

Britain will create a new powerful regulator for its water industry following public fury over sewage spills.
