A WATER company serving the New Forest wants people's views on its strategy to cope with drought.

Bournemouth & West Hampshire Water, which stressed it has no plans to bring in water restrictions this summer, must by law update its drought plan by the end of the year.

The firm provides water to 420,000 people.

Its draft plan outlines its water resources, how the firm manages the demands for water under drought conditions, and how it communicates with its customers.

The full version of the document, as well as a summary, can be found on the company's website at www.bwhwater.co.uk, or can be viewed by arrangement at the company's Bournemouth office by calling 01202 591111.
