Item 5. Other Events and Required FD Disclosure

      On August 6, 2004, Timothy P. Horne, a member of the Board of Directors of
Watts Water Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") and the controlling stockholder
of the Company, established a pre-arranged plan to sell shares of class A common
stock, par value $.10 per share, of the Company ("Class A Common Stock") in
accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Mr.
Horne's plan provides that over a six month period, up to 50,000 shares of Class
A Common Stock may be sold.

      Rule 10b5-1 permits insiders to implement a written plan to sell stock
when they are not aware of material non-public information and continue to sell
shares in accordance with the predetermined plan, even if they subsequently
become aware of such information.
