Decision: That the Leader of the Council and the Executive Member for Environment agrees that Wokingham Borough Council:
1) Recognizes that Thames Water has identified the area of Wokingham Borough covered by the River Kennet Water Resource Management Zone (RKWRMZ) as having a medium to long term water supply/demand deficit;
2) Notes TW’s initiatives of water efficiency and leakage reduction and improvements to metering, which have been applied to all 6 Water Resource Zones, as well as the specific initiatives for the RKWRMZ;
3) Requests that Thames Water produce an Action Plan that addresses how the requirements of future housing supply in Wokingham Borough will be taken into account and mitigated where required, given the substantial increase in population in Wokingham Borough and future planned growth to be advanced through the Local Plan Update;
4) Continues to welcome further engagement with Thames Water as work on the Water Plan 2019 continues, with reference to water supply;
5) Continues to welcome further engagement with Thames Water as work on the Local Plan Update and Site allocations progresses, with reference to wastewater connections and sewers.
