- Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan
A summary of our plan
Our Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) identifies how we are addressing pressures on our drainage and wastewater systems to ensure our services remain robust and resilient.
These pressures include climate change, population growth, storm overflows, tightening environmental standards and changes in customer behaviour.
The plan sets out the required level of investment to enhance our assets and networks to ensure we continue to deliver drainage and wastewater services to our customers in a sustainable and affordable way.
We have worked with our stakeholders, regulators and customers to create our plan, which has been produced in line with other water companies in England and Wales to ensure a consistent approach across the water industry.
