North West Water raised its bid for the British regional utility Norweb. Norweb said it would recommend acceptance of the new, $2.9-billion offer from the British water company because Houston Industries Inc. and Central & South West Corp., both based in Texas, would probably withdraw from the bidding war for it. Texas Energy Partners had last offered $2.77 billion for the company.
