The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much funding her Department has allocated for advertising public schemes for recycling water.

Answered by Emma Hardy

We continue to work closely with regulators to support progress in this area to reduce water demand.

Ofwat are on track to launch the Water Efficiency Campaign (WEC) in spring 2026 and continue to engage closely with Defra, the Welsh Government, NRW, the Environment Agency, and water companies on the campaign’s governance, structure, and strategy.
