The WCWC has responded to the Ofwat consultation on its July proposals for a Common Framework on Environmental Incentives as a part of the drive for water use efficiency. It has supported them , with some caveats, and suggested a ‘sunset clause’. It is concerned that these proposals do not fit in with other initiatives on water efficiency, such as the recent Ofwat proposals for a Water Efficiency Fund and once more highlights a fragmented approach. It advocates a more strategic approach, including a review of Building and Water Fittings Regulations and of the Planning Framework as part of the evolution of the Water Efficiency Roadmap. It is concerned that the Ofwat is of the opinion that the implementation of mandatory Sustainable Urban Drainage is unlikely.
