What a relief we must all feel on reading that Southern Water has adequate supplies to cater for the 875 extra houses planned to be built in Durrington, Worthing.
Whereas we have been diligently using our washing-up water and water butt supplies to keep our garden alive, I now feel morally justified in stopping this conservation.
I don't see any reason to carry on saving water when Southern Water sees no problem coping with these extra demands from new housing (as it stated at the inquiry) or is it that it sees the extra income first and shortages second?
What extra sources are there? As I understand it, the Environment Agency will not allow any extra bore holes.
So let's thank Southern Water for relieving us of this moral dilemma. It can't have it both ways.
-P Beckett, Worthing
