Received: 02/04/2019

Respondent: Essex and Suffolk Water (NWG)

Representation Summary:

As the statutory water provider it is our duty to ensure that appropriate infrastructure is in place to serve future domestic development. Essex and Suffolk Water has a large capital investment programme for both of the regions which operates in 5 yearly cycles known as Asset Management Plan periods (AMPs). The next AMP period is from 2020 to 2025, and includes an element of flexibility to enable network reinforcement which may be required to facilitate new development. We will work with the council going forward to help inform any additional plans or policy to support the delivery of the council’s vision and encourage the council to contact us regarding our ongoing support.
