Water resources - March update

Water resources update

19 March 2018

 

 

Dear Councillor

Ground water recovers but risk of restrictions remain

 

January and February may have seemed wet, but rainfall has been below average in our central supply area. However, we have started to see some recovery in our groundwater sources.

 

Due to this recovery, we will not need to implement restrictions as we come into the spring. However, this does not remove the possibility that restrictions will have to be introduced later on in the year. This will be dependent on the rainfall we receive in March as well as demand through the summer.

While we continue to undertake significant investment in infrastructure and drive down leakage in our network, we also need our customers to change how they view, and use water to help manage the situation, and as a key stakeholder you also have an important role to play.

 

 

We continue to work with Environmental Charity, Hubbub to raise awareness of water resources and persuade people to change behaviour to save water through an innovative campaign - #TapChat.

 

To make this year’s Water Saving Week (19 – 23 March) the biggest and best yet, Hubbub have teamed up with Waterwise to promote #TapChat via a social media ‘Thunderclap’.

 

During the week, Hubbub will be posting daily tips and competitions, so follow @hubbubuk and #TapChat and encourage your followers to do the same.

 

Draft Water Resources Management Plan

 

We have recently published our Draft Water Resources Management Plan, which describes how much water is going to be needed by our customers and how we will meet this need in the years ahead between 2020 and 2080.

 

Our plan considers both current and future customers’ demand for water and looks at the amount of water that is available, whilst considering the impact of factors such as climate change and drought.

 

With a rising population and some of the highest water use in the country, we are addressing the challenges of serving customers in an area the Government has designated as being under serious water stress.

 

Our public consultation is open to customers and stakeholders from 19 March to the 23 May 2018.

 

For more information and to have your say, please read the attached document or visit www.affinitywater.co.uk/haveyoursay

 

We need your support to help make the longer term changes that will have a big impact for the future of water supplies.

 

There are simple steps that every one of us can take – whether a householder, business, community or a council.

 

We need a public debate about how we all use water. As a key stakeholder, we would like to invite you to meet with us at your convenience to discuss how we can plan for the future, to take the next step on this journey together. Please contact jake.rigg@affinitywater.co.uk for more information or to arrange a meeting.

 

  • Help spread the message to the communities you serve: Every little step we can all make will collectively have a big impact on water usage.
  • Turning off the tap off while we brush our teeth can save 6,500 litres of water a year.
  • Avoid baths - take a short shower instead to save on average around 50 litres each time.

We have four additional crews out today working to clear the backlog of bins that were missed last week due to the weather conditions. They will try to get to as many of the affected areas as possible.

Please note – if we are unable to reach you today, we will unfortunately not be able to collect your black bin until your next scheduled black bin collection day. For these properties only, crews will be taking additional bagged side waste on the next scheduled black bin collection day.

We thank residents for their patience, and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

There is a variety of information available on our website to help you with waste collections and recycling.
