Water transfer from Thames Water to Affinity Water

What’s the solution?

A transfer of raw water from Thames Water to Affinity Water. It would rely on new sources of water from one of the strategic resources options (STT, SESRO or London reuse) contributing to a resilient water supply for Affinity Water. The transfer route and infrastructure requirements will depend on the source water.
