The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether she has had discussions with Affinity Water on the reduction of water pressure to residents of Park Street village, Hertfordshire.

Answered by Emma Hardy

Defra Ministers and officials engage regularly with the water sector, including specific companies, on strategic policy issues. The Government expects water companies to keep affected customers informed and to take all appropriate steps to minimise disruption including maintaining adequate water pressure. Affinity Water is responsible for the day-to-day operation of its network and for managing pressures within the system to maintain supplies across its area.
