North East Cambridge Area Action Plan Issues and Options 2019
Representation ID: 33032

Respondent: Cambridge Water
Cambridge water supports a site wide approach to water management as this is an effective way of implementing water efficiency standards beyond 110 l/p/d for domestic properties, and BREAAM Outstanding standards for non-residential buildings by including site wide water recycling and re-use. Consideration of site wide water consumption standards to 80 l/p/d at the masterplan stage can ensure that the required infrastructure is made available to support lower consumption of potable water, in an area of water stress, where available abstractions from public water supplies are reducing. There is a synergy between sustainable water consumption, and energy for heating water.
