Managing water resources

We have published specific water resources-related information so third parties can put forward water resource and demand management bids for our water supply options.

These options will be compared and assessed against other options, and those that we have developed and proposed ourselves, when we develop our next WRMP.

Additional options will likely be required in the future, and we aim to evaluate as many of these as we can.

We are interested in bids from all water users and sectors.
The criteria that we will consider for progressing bids will include consideration of:

We have a single water resources zone for planning and water supply. Details of this area, and water resource information to inform bids, can be found via the links below.

We invite interested parties to identify any opportunities and contact us with the details of any proposals. 
To make a bid, or to request further information on what is required for us to assess your bid, please contact us with your details at: WRMP.consultation@south-staffs-water.co.uk.

Alternatively, if you are not sure whether your bid is suitable for us, but it may have regional benefits to other water companies or water users, bids can also be made to the regional water resources group, Water Resources East (WRE), using the bid form available via the link below:
