Our Water Resources Management Plan sets out how we intend to provide supplies of water to our customers over the next 25 years and beyond.  The Plan explains the challenges we face and the uncertainties we have to deal with in planning for the future. It explains the range of options open to us to ensure that we can meet the future demand for water, and it sets out our strategy.

Our strategy includes demand management and leakage reduction, as well as new water resource development in the longer term.. We have produced a plan that meets our need to provide reliable water supplies at least cost, and in a way that will minimise the impact on the natural environment.

How our Plan is presented

1. An executive summary which provides a summary of our strategy to ensure future demand for water can be met, and highlights what has changed following the consultation on our draft WRMP.
