What is a Drainage and Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP)?
Our Drainage and Wastewater management plans set out our 25-year plan for our wastewater services. They provide us with the opportunity to understand the impact on our network from things such as:
- Population growth: New housing developments and increased occupancy of exisiting homes
- Climate change: More volatile weather, severe rainfall events, longer dry periods
- Urban creep: Paving over urban areas such as parks and gardens, removed natural soakways for rainwater run off
The way we respond to these challenges will shape the future for our customers and the region where we live and work for years to come. It is essential that the plan is fit for purpose for both our environment and our customers.
