Water UK shared an article stating English water companies are proposing a plan to remove 4 million spills from our rivers and coasts. This plan is currently under review by Ofwat before it can proceed. The plan involves a £10.2 billion investment, tripling the current target, this plan will specifically address overflows, of which there are over 14,000 in the UK. Improving these overflows will have a massive impact on the drainage of contaminated water when sewer systems are under pressure. If this plan is approved, the water companies assert that by 2050 they will eliminate more than 325,000 spills each year. The public and media scrutiny have brought significant attention to the situation, signalling a crucial first step towards better management of our water and drainage infrastructure. Do you think this is a step in the right direction or should water companies do more?

Reducing your water bill isn't always straightforward. If you suspect that surface water from your site isn't entering the public drainage system, you might be entitled to a refund for the service you're not using. Providing credible evidence and allowing the water company to inspect your site is crucial for reducing or eliminating these charges. At Combined Utilities, we specialize in navigating these complexities. Our process involves a thorough desktop audit, examining site plans, sewer records, and ownership of drainage assets. Once we confirm private drainage, we handle all documentation for submission to the water company. Site inspections and drain tests follow, culminating in a joint visit with the water company to discuss findings and address discrepancies. Visit our website or call us to learn more. Our auditing service is entirely free, with no obligation. While we recommend experienced assistance, confident individuals can challenge water companies independently. This month alone, 7 clients have saved thousands on their bills. Don't wait to start saving!

🌟 Innovative Engineering Spotlight 🌟 🚀 On a recent field visit, our engineer Erik discovered an exceptional example of sustainable engineering. The site’s Surface Water drainage system wasn’t just functional; it was ingeniously integrated with the landscape! 💧 Eco-Friendly Design 💧 The developers had crafted a system where the Surface Water was more than just drained—it was strategically channelled to nourish the greenery surrounding the building’s perimeter. This isn’t just smart design; it’s a commitment to sustainability. 🌳 Purposeful Water Use 🌳 We’re used to seeing water go to waste, but here, every drop had a purpose, transforming clean wastewater into a life-giving resource for plants. It’s a win-win: the building owner saves on irrigation costs, and the environment benefits from reduced water waste.

The Future of Thames Water: A Public Concern?🧐 🔍 In the Spotlight: Thames Water's recent struggle to secure a crucial £500 million investment has sparked a heated debate: Is it time to return Thames Water to public ownership?!? 💧 The Ripple Effect: With the UK's increasing population and aging infrastructure, water companies are under immense pressure.
