Why parts of Berkshire are now using more water

Available for over a year

Water companies in England and Wales want bills to increase by £156 a year by 2030 to pay for upgrades and reduce sewage discharges. The water industry says the increase would allow infrastructure spending to almost double to £96bn. Âé¶¹Éç Radio Berkshire’s Andrew Peach speaks to David Hinton, CEO of South East Water, which supplies parts of Bracknell, Wokingham, Maidenhead and Basingstoke about the reasons for the bill increases – and why some parts of Berkshire have started using much more water in the last couple of years.
