Farmers and landowners in West Kent are being invited to a South East Water event to find out more about available funding and support from the water company.
Al Stewart, South East Water’s surface water lead, explains that to help improve river and groundwater quality, farmers and landowners in the region are being offered free one-to-one confidential advice and funding of up to £10,000 for on-farm improvements.
He highlights that the water company, which produces 520 million litres of top-quality drinking water each day, has been working closely with farmers and landowners across the region since 2015 to help reduce the impact of agricultural and horticultural activity on raw water sources.
“We’ve had great success to date, but we know that not everyone is aware of our support packages. We’re therefore hosting a breakfast meeting, on Wednesday 30 March at Marden Cricket & Hockey Club, for those who want to find out more about what support we offer.”
