Meeting your needs
Cambridge is an area that has been earmarked by the
Government for significant future development in terms of housing. Some 32,000
houses are being planned between now and 2016 and this will have an impact on
water demand. At Cambridge Water, we are focused on meeting this increase in
demand and are confident that we can keep up our supply to cope easily with the
growth. Improved leak detection rates, lower occupancy rates per household,
greater efficiency in modern water using appliances like showers and washing up
machines all help to maximise the efficient use of water. In addition, about
62% of our customers have a water meter and typically that helps to reduce
usage. All new homes have a meter installed at build stage. We are therefore
confident that we can continue to meet the demands of our growing population
and continue to provide the cheapest water in our region as we go forward.
