Respondent: Southern Water

Southern Water is committed to meeting the demand for water and wastewater services arising from new development.

Southern Water needs information on the location, scale and timing of development, particularly relating to wastewater services. The sewerage system operates mainly by gravity and is therefore inflexible, and it is split into many discrete catchments. The location of development is therefore critical as it determines which drainage catchment will receive the waste.

Southern Water will plan the investment required to serve Rother when this information is published and anticipates strategic sites will be included in the Core Strategy document to facilitate its planning.
