That the Leader of the Council and the Executive Member for Environment agrees that Wokingham Borough Council:

1)     Recognizes that South East Water (SEW) has identified the area of Wokingham Borough located in Water Resource Zone 4 (Bracknell) as an area of high water stress and also an area of higher risk uncertainties;

2)     Notes SEW’s short term initiatives of water efficiency and leakage reduction, which have been applied to all 8 Water Resource Zones, as well as the longer term initiatives specific to Water Resource Zone 4 (WRZ 4);

3)     Requests that South East 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 SEW as work on the dWRMP 2019 continues.
