With regard to surface water, I am more focused on smaller towns and villages where we probably will not see capital investment for a significant number of years as the focus will be on larger projects. From the few I have dealt with over the years, one could say capacity of the plant has been reduced by approximately 30% because of surface water entering the system.

Is there any way that surface water in smaller towns and villages that do not come under the capital programme and review can be addressed?
