water leakage
Enfield Council is addressing water sustainability, a goal that involves managing the loss of treated water from distribution systems.
Enfield Council recently backed a motion calling for greater water sustainability, a goal that includes addressing the loss of treated water from distribution systems before it reaches the consumer. The council noted in September 2026 that the borough is in a water-stressed area, with an additional 1 billion litres of water per day forecast to be needed by 2050.
The motion, proposed by Councillor Doug Taylor, urged engagement with water companies to support proposals for new reservoirs to meet these growing demands for London and the South East.
