Affinity Water
Enfield Council is urging water companies, including Affinity Water, to engage on water sustainability and new reservoir proposals for London and the South East.
Enfield Council backed a motion in September 2026 calling for greater water sustainability. The motion urged engagement with water companies, including Affinity Water, to support proposals for new reservoirs. This aims to meet the projected demand for an additional one billion litres of water per day by 2050 for London and the South East.
The council's motion highlighted that Enfield is a water-stressed area and emphasised the need to establish water sustainability due to current climate conditions. Councillor Doug Taylor, who proposed the motion, stated the importance of water for both economic and literal life.
No upcoming meetings are mentioned. The topic concerns Affinity Water, a company supplying drinking water to parts of London and the South East, which Enfield Council is requested to engage with regarding these water sustainability proposals.
