Southern Water consultation - your feedback matters!

Chichester & Arun Green Party are pleased to be hosting this urgent online talk on Southern Water's Resource Management Plan, and how you can respond to their consultation.

You are welcome to join us on:

Tuesday 19th November at 7.00 pm

With guest speaker Tracey Viney

Tracey worked for many years in the Drinking Water Inspectorate, as well as for Portsmouth Water. She will talk us through the latest plans from Southern Water, and what you need to know to effectively feedback your concerns.

Southern Water's previous draft plan was rightly rejected by public response. Unfortunately, their new effort is little changed - aside from an extra proposal to tanker water all the way from Norway!

Some of the Green Party's concerns include:

• instead of plans for efficient rainfall storage, they are proposing an energy and carbon hungry project of effluent recycling;
• instead of plans to plug leaks quickly, they project to still be leaking 10% of all the water they treat by 2050;
• and there continues to be a lack of planning around connecting up the network - leading to many good options for water security and safety being missed.

Please come along if you can, to ask questions and find out more details.

The consultation ends on 4 December, so there isn't much time to make our voices heard.

We look forward to seeing you!
