As I continue with my campaign to strongly oppose Southern Water’s Water Recycling Project, I was pleased to make a representation to Ofwat as part of their consultation “Strategic regional water resource solutions: gate three draft decision for Hampshire Water Transfer and Water Recycling Project”.
The main concerns I raised with Ofwat were:
- This project fails to produce robust alternative solutions;
- costs are spiralling;
- it’s not the best value for money;
- there is no evident reason to accelerate funding yet;
- customers don’t want to drink recycled water, and the impact of this has yet to be factored in;
- customers have not been properly consulted;
- cautionary regulators will likely delay the delivery of this project;
- environmental impacts have not been costed;
- the solution will be detrimental for our environment.
