Wessex water is considering switching the UV treatment off during the winter months. They received our initial comments in October 2015. Their survey of water users was held between 1st of October 2015 and 15th of May 2016, and we received the results on the 2nd of Sep 2016. In the report, our comments were copied, but very few water users were seen on survey days. It appears the survey days were on low tide or non-wind days, so we would not be seen. Wessex water concluded it was advisable to switch off the UV treatment in the winter months to save costs.
We have conducted another survey, using the local kitesurfing facebook groups. This has been sent to Wessex water to provide them with evidence that the beaches of Weston and Burnham area are used in winter by kitesurfers.
It is a boring read, but if you're interested you can download it below. We'll let you all know what happens!
