Having their say: Communities shaping UK wastewater

Water’s future is everyone’s business. Copper Consultancy is helping the water sector connect with communities to shape decisions that will keep the UK’s sewers flowing and our environment healthy for generations.

Water matters more than ever

And decisions about our sewers, rivers and rainfall affect us all. That’s why there are growing calls for community voices to help shape the industry’s future.

We’re helping water companies listen to more than 50,000 voices shaping the future of drainage and wastewater. Our work on Cycle 2 Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans (DWMP) puts local feedback at the heart of planning, ensuring long-term strategies reflect real community needs.

Using workshops and steering groups, we help companies prepare for new government rules and gain trust from communities.

The result? Plans that tackle flooding, protect the environment and make sure everyone has a say in the water systems that touch every home.
