The government has been urged to take a lead on driving the uptake of smart meters within the water sector as a means of managing consumption. Conservative MP Anne Marie Morris expressed “real concern” that the gap between water supply and demand would not be bridged and called on government to take a role in lowering how much people use. Morris said that water companies are currently “bearing the brunt of trying to convey this message, and the government needs to do some more heavy lifting”.
