Cistermiser managing director, Richard Braid, comments on the final findings of the United Kingdom's Independent Water Commission and the government committing to reform of the sector.
Sirs,
We support The Independent Water Commission’s final report setting out recommendations for improving the water sector regulatory system in England and Wales.
In particular, we welcome the report's focus on the pressing challenges facing the water industry.
From leakage and pollution to long-term supply resilience, it rightly acknowledges the need for coordinated action from regulators, water companies, suppliers, manufacturers and consumers, while building on the ambition of the 2038 and 2050 sustainability targets.
The report highlights the importance of smarter data use and more widespread metering, and solutions that identify inefficiencies, detect leaks early and support responsible water use will be central to the sector’s future.
The principles of water efficiency, smarter infrastructure and long-term planning apply just as strongly in commercial and public buildings.
We're committed to supporting the sector as it enters a new era of collaboration and accountability,
Cistermiser looks forward to working with the incoming regulator, utilities and industry bodies to ensure non-domestic water efficiency remains firmly on the agenda.
Richard Braid
Managing Director,
Cistermiser
