Answer
Water companies published their statutory Water Resources Management Plans between late 2024 and early 2025. These plans assess future water supply and demand over a 25-year period. Defra, the Environment Agency and Ofwat reviewed the plans for Stevenage (served by Affinity Water) and the East of England (served by Anglian Water, Cambridge Water, and Essex & Suffolk Water). Water companies are also required to provide annual updates, setting out any significant changes to forecasts, assumptions, or proposed actions since publication of their plans.
