Guarantee emergency water for vulnerable people during prolonged supply outages — 8 signatures. Status: rejected.
Require water companies to provide emergency drinking water to vulnerable people during significant supply outages, whether or not they were already on a Priority Services Register, including home delivery where they cannot reasonably collect water themselves.
Water companies operate Priority Services Registers, but vulnerable people may not know they exist, may struggle to register, or may only become vulnerable after an outage begins. During prolonged outages, older people, disabled people, those with medical needs and families with young children may be unable to reach or carry water from collection points. Access to essential drinking water should depend on need, not prior registration, with timely home delivery where necessary.
