Dear Mr Owen
 
Re: Your request for information
 
I write further to my earlier e-mail today regarding your request for
information.
 
By way of response kindly note the following:
 

* There are currently no areas that we supply with purified waste water
for use as drinking water
* There are no plans to supply Merseyside with purified waste water for
use as drinking water up to 2040
* Our plans for new sources of water to 2040 and the options that we
considered in developing this plan are detailed in our water resources
management plan. I attach a copy of that for your convenience

 
 
 
We hope that this now meets with your request. However, should you
consider that that we have not adequately complied with our obligations
under EIR, you have the right to ask us to carry out an internal review,
by writing to David Hannon Head of Legal, United Utilities, Legal
Department, Grasmere House First Floor, Lingley Mere Business Park,
Lingley Green Avenue, Great Sankey, Warrington, WA5 3LP. Alternatively,
you may find it easier to e-mail us directly on [1][United Utilities request email]
and your review request will be forwarded on to Mr Hannon.
 
Your request for review should explain why you wish a review to be carried
out, and should be made within 40 working days of receipt of this letter,
and we will reply within 40 working days of receipt. If you are not
satisfied with the result of the review, you then have the right to make a
formal complaint to the Information Commissioner.
 
Finally, kindly acknowledge receipt by return of e-mail.
 
Yours sincerely
