Research
Essex & Suffolk Water (ESW) recognises the need to remain at the forefront of research and development. Research projects are carried out on a continual basis with the aim of gaining a better understanding of water use within the supply area and to aid the demand forecasting. It is essential that ESW understand fully the way in which its consumers, both commercial and domestic, use their water.
Increasing population and modern lifestyles are creating challenges that Essex & Suffolk Water face now and in the future. Researching aspects such as the use of particular water using appliances, customers perceptions and behavioural patterns of water use and quantifying different types of water use all provide information that is crucial to Essex & Suffolk Water’s demand forecasting.
