I agree with the most of the points under your plan. However, I feel that given the likelihood of extreme weather events in the future, that you should aim to reduce leaks further than your proposed target.

I also feel that additional measures should be taken to ensure additional resilience over and above those being proposed. Given that most of the time we as a nation and indeed we as a region have a very wet climate we should never need to ration water when conditions are unfavorable. If we produced and stored enough when times were good and prevented waste then such restrictions would not need to be imposed when conditions are harsher. Whilst I appreciate that the measures chosen withing your plan have an aim of limiting the impact on bill payers, I feel that the first point of call before when looking for investment to fund such improvements to the network should initially fall on shareholders and then bill payers.
