How often do the companies update their plans?


Section 62 of the Water Act 2003 requires each company to review its plan each year and provide the conclusions of its review to the Secretary of State. Companies prepare revised plans if their review points to a material change in circumstances or if the Secretary of State asks them to. Each company prepares a revised plan every five years. Water resources plans are therefore documents that are examined regularly to make sure they are fit for purpose.
