Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to recommend the installation of facilities to capture storm water for domestic use in all new houses.
This question was answered on 2nd August 2024
The Environment Improvement Plan 2023 recognised that water efficiency could be supported through Building Regulations, planning and voluntary schemes. The Government will review this position in the coming months and recognises that new work might need to consider technical challenges of water capture and avoidance of cross-contamination between rainwater and potable water supplies.
