WATER COMPANY FAR FROM CLEAN

Dear Ed,

Might I suggest that Folkestone and Dover Water (FDW) might not require "scarcity status" if some of the loss due to leakage was prevented.

The following report from OFWAT makes some interesting - disappointing reading. Not just for FDW, but all of the UK's suppliers.

Not enough is done to stop the loss of millions of litres which never reaches a consumers tap!
