answer text <p>Sir James Bevan’s speech highlighted the need to take action to improve water demand management and increase supply to prevent future water supply deficits. That is why the Government is continuing to work closely with water regulators and the water industry to improve the resilience of water supplies now and in the long term.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government expects companies to increase metering where appropriate. Currently, water companies can introduce universal metering if they are in an area designated as an area of serious water stress and have consulted on doing so with their customers.</p><p> </p><p>We are launching a call for evidence on setting an ambitious target for personal water consumption by mid-May. Alongside this, we will hold a consultation to examine the policy options required to support the target. This will include exploratory questions around policy options such as the labelling of water-using products, improving building standards, and the future role of metering.</p>

answer text <p>The Government recognises continued action is required, and it is committed to a ‘twin track approach’ of managing water demand, including leakage reduction, and increasing supply, in parallel. The Government’s National Policy Statement for water resources infrastructure, currently undergoing parliamentary scrutiny, will streamline the planning permission process. The Government will also be launching a call for evidence on an ambitious target for per capita consumption in May.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The 25 Year Environment Plan sets out our ambitions to improve water efficiency. Lowering water consumption helps to reduce the total volume of water taken from the environment, helping to address unsustainable abstraction. The Government is working with the water industry, Waterwise and other groups to investigate a variety of tools and techniques to deliver this. I will report to the House later this year on the steps we are taking to encourage water conservation.</p><p> </p><p>The aim of the water refill scheme is primarily to reduce plastic waste rather than to save water.</p><p> </p> more like this
