Issue - meetings

The following recommendations have been noted:

1.      Anglian Water Limited has installed sufficient measures to prevent such an incident occurring in the same manner at Pitsford Water Treatment Works.

2.      The review of the Drinking Water Inspectorate’s report and the tour of Pitsford Works concludes the work of the Task and Finish Group.

Councillor Malpas, as Chair of Overview and Scrutiny 2, presented the report to Cabinet and highlighted the excellent partnership working that had led to its production. Anglian Water and the Drinking Water Inspectorate had received the report and it was expected that it was virtually impossible for such an incident to happen again.

The Committee was complimented on the work and the value of local councils working together.

Arising from the incident, it had been recognised that shared information was needed to identify the most vulnerable people and to ensure that agencies were aware of the location of all sheltered housing residents.
