Strategic approach to drainage planning for water companies
24th May 2013
The Environment Agency and Ofwat have together commissioned a report, for water companies, setting out a framework to use in planning long term strategies for their drainage systems.
The drainage strategy framework comes is in response to the Water White Paper (2011), and will be designed to help water firms produce long term drainage strategies, along with other organisations, to the benefit of customers.
The framework should also help customers and other stakeholders understand how a water company intends to deliver its statutory functions within a particular area in a sustainable and economic manner.
Ofwat said that the drainage strategy will show housing developers and other interested parties how sewerage infrastructure will be developed so that they are able to plan accordingly and contribute to economic growth
