On "07/10/2024", the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affair issued an update regarding "More action needed to protect future water resources".
The new report from the Environment Agency found that almost a fifth (19%) of water supplies are lost by water companies before reaching customers’ taps. This highlights significant under-delivery in addressing leakage and improving supply efficiency, with 60% of households still without meters to influence consumer behavior.
The industry faces enormous challenges, including reducing demand and increasing supply to meet the growing population's needs, as an additional 5 billion litres of water will be needed every day by 2050.
