'New reservoirs will help address water shortage'

Essex & Suffolk Water is planning to build two new reservoirs and a water recycling plant in Suffolk to address the county's water shortage issues. The project aims to secure reliable water supplies for future generations in a region identified as Seriously Water Stressed. The initiative is part of a wider £1.5bn investment in water projects across East of England, seeking to meet the increasing water demand and support new developments. The proposal includes building reservoirs near Sibton and Eye airfield and constructing a recycling plant near Lowestoft, with positive initial feedback from the community and ongoing consultation.
