The House of Commons Public Accounts Committee has launched a new inquiry into Government resilience and how it addresses the impacts of extreme weather.
A new report says water reform must be a priority for the next government and that it should commission a comprehensive, independent review of water management, to report within its first twelve months.
MOSL is calling on Ofwat to ensure its determinations on the water companies’ AMP8 business plans at PR24 include an appropriate level of incentives/penalties to drive progress to help achieve Defra’s target of reducing water demand by 9% by 2038 in the non household retail market.
Environment Secretary Steve Barclay has written to Thames Water confirming his decision to grant the utility’s request for a Development Consent Order (DCO) which will eventually see the Teddington direct river abstraction scheme designated as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project.
Every storm overflow across the water network in England is now monitored - 100% of storm overflows have now been fitted with Event Duration Monitors (EDMs) to meet the target set by the government to do so by the end of 2023.
