The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the classification of water at Grafham Water on the water supply in Huntingdon constituency.

Answered by Emma Hardy

Grafham Water is 85% full with no concerns for water supplies in Huntingdon, but refill was delayed by high nitrate levels.

The Environment Agency continues to work with the water industry through the Asset Management Plan process and partnership projects so that appropriate catchment management and water treatment are in place to ensure that water supplies are safe and secure.
