Making sure our sites can continue to operate following extremes of weather is vital to help ensure the resilience of your water supply.
One of those weather extremes is flooding.
By 2024/25 we have committed to protecting 92 of our sites from flooding with less than a 1/1000 Annual Exceedance Probability. If we do not meet this target an underperformance payment due in 2024/25.
How have we performed?
We have now surveyed 95 of our sites and we have completed work at 18 sites to bring them up to the standard of protection needed.
The surveys showed that 27 of the sites were already protected to a 1:1000- flood event – meaning there is adequate protection of all our assets within those sites.
We are still on target to deliver the commitment by 2024/25.
