The Grand Union Canal Transfer has entered its second phase of public consultation, offering communities and businesses the opportunity to comment on the scheme. The project aims to transfer highly treated recycled water from the Midlands to the Southeast.
THE Grand Union Canal Transfer is now in the second phase of its public consultation.
The scheme, in partnership with Affinity Water, Severn Trent and the Canal & River Trust, and designated as a Project of National Significance by the Government, will transfer highly treated recycled water from the Midlands to the Southeast to ensure future drinking water supplies for the region and to strengthen the UK’s water infrastructure.
Building on the first public consultation in October 2024, this second phase is providing communities and businesses on the route the opportunity to offer their views on the scheme’s progress.
A number of in-person events have already been held across the route, and this second phase ends on April 2.
The scheme is expected to be operational by 2033, with the capacity to deliver up to 115 million litres per day to Affinity Water customers.
