Please lets consider rainwater harvesting tanks for new builds used to flush loos and water gardens and save a massive amount of water each day. Good for bills, good for water supply, relatively low cost and way cheaper than solar and batteries. And yes, water companies to invest in new reservoirs like the abingdon one thats been in planning for years and preventing/ fixing g leaks in the system
Water shortage on a very small and very rich island.
Oh no, the consequences of our non-actions!
Maybe we should’ve been preparing for this by building reservoirs etc…
Good job we have a highly respected water industry thats been constructively preparing for this moment for decades
“Privatizing public services will make them more efficient and businesslike!”
I say we should cut off all water to anyone who voted Tory in the Thatcher/Major era, to save enough water for the rest of us. This is a direct consequence of their decisions.
Make something scarce then charge a premium for it, the same playbook as housing and gas/electric.
And still they keep building houses to further increase demand. It’s almost like they’re doing it on purpose….
Millions more people, a much higher demand and no thought on how to store water for everyone. It’s really no surprise.
South West Water seems to be the only water authority making provisions for new reservoirs by flooding old quarries.
We haven’t had such a shortage of rain in this area though, one reservoir is still at 91% and the biggest is at 60%. The biggest covers 900 acres so even at 60% it holds a lot of water.
