Water for Life

The Government has just published a White Paper describing a vision for future water management in which the water sector is resilient, in which water companies are more efficient and customer focused, and in which water is valued as the precious and finite resource it is.

Water for Life  explains that we all have a part to play in the realisation of this vision.

The White Paper includes several proposals for deregulating and simplifying legislation, to reduce burdens on business and stimulate growth. Ofwat’s proposals for reducing its regulatory burdens complement these. The Government’s Red Tape Challenge will offer another opportunity to identify areas where regulation can be simplified or removed.

The way we manage and use our water resources will need to change and, whilst ensuring continued secure supplies for households and to support economic growth, it is imperative that enough water is left in our water bodies to support a healthy and high quality natural environment.
