new water storage
Enfield Council is urging water companies to support new reservoirs to meet London's growing water demand.
Enfield Council backed a motion in September 2026 calling for greater water sustainability and urging engagement with water companies to support proposals for new reservoirs. The council noted that the borough is in a water-stressed area, with London's population projected to approach 10 million, requiring an additional 1 billion litres of water per day by 2050.
