Influencing water companies
The water companies supplying Sussex are:
- Southern Water
- South East Water
- Portsmouth Water
- Thames Water (supplying a small area near Crawley)
Opportunities to influence
Every water company must produce a number of strategic plans to outline how they will meet demand, treat waste water, and look after the environment. These plans include:
- Drainage and Waste Water Management Plans
- Water Resources Management Plans
- Drought Plans
