Drought Plan

This plan sets out how we intend to manage water resources during extended periods of dry weather.

A summary of our plan

Our Drought Plan identifies actions we will take before, during and after a drought to maintain a secure supply of water.

The plan also outlines how we will assess and mitigate the environmental impacts of our actions to help prevent drought conditions.

Water companies are required by law to prepare and maintain a drought plan on a five-yearly cycle. Our current plan was published in June 2022.
