I have not read the report.
However I agree with your point about sending potable water to industrial customers but would point out that they need the water to be exactly the same all the time.
I believe that the industries should be cleaning their waste water and reusing it. This would save everyone money. Depending on the waste water content and flow equipment starts at approximately £80,000.
The largest problem I have come across is that industries do not want to invest capital in cleaning their waste water. There is also a departmental fight over finance and how to use the budget and if one department can pass it over to another so that it is their budget they will not invest.
Companies need to face up to their responsibility to the people.

Thanks for your input Stuart. This is a systemic problem with large organizations. Business units each have their own profit and loss responsibility. When there is an opportunity to collaborate for the greater good of the organization, but at greater cost for an individual BU, it takes the top exec or leader to be the bigger systems thinker and see the overall benefits.
