[Talk-GB] Identifying new-ish housing estates

[Russ Garrett]

We spotted this a while back actually. The House of Commons Library
publishes water supply area data from Ofwat under OGL:

https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/constituency-information-water-companies/#datasources

It's quite obvious where the new housing estates are. It seems to be
updated pretty early on - a lot of these areas appear to be unbuilt in
satellite imagery still, even though the data is a year old.

Cheers,

Russ

It is sometimes possible for a new housing estate to be served by a completely different water company (no idea why, maybe they get a cheaper deal?).
