It is 1.9 million Imperial Gallons, or 2 million minus 5% pipeline losses.<br /><br />If you search for the string 'Wates Construction Limited +8640', you find that the construction company has used the two million gallon estimate in previous applications. It is reasonable to guess 'up to two million' is a project manager assumption based on the development size.<br /><br />What is 'trade effluent'? My understanding is that the water companies consider it to be business waste which does not need special treatment. <br /><br />It's your neighbourhood, Jonathan; any reason to believe that the development site might have suffered ground pollution? Assuming there is negligible ground pollution, it is most likely that the developers will be pumping off ground water mixed with some run-off from concrete mixing etc.<br /><br />Planning documents will not have been published because it is a prison and normal rules do not apply.
