British water supplier Severn Trent said on Tuesday it had been approached by a consortium including Canadian and Kuwaiti investment companies regarding a possible bid, sending its share price surging.

"The board of Severn Trent announces that it has received an approach with a view to making a proposal from a consortium made up of (Canadian group) Borealis Infrastructure Management Inc., the Kuwait Investment Office and (British pension fund) Universities Superannuation Scheme Limited," said a statement.

Severn Trent's share price rocketed 14.68 percent to trade at 2,093 pence in morning deals, easily topping London's benchmark FTSE 100 index, which was trading 0.19-percent lower.
