Universal Studios Bedford Theme Park Water Supply

planned

The proposed Universal Studios theme park in Bedford is expected to significantly increase local water demand by around 50% initially, with needs more than tripling at full buildout. The project plans to manage water demand through new supply connections, rainwater harvesting, recycling, and efficiency measures. Potable water will be supplied by Anglian Water from identified connection points, while non-potable water will be sourced through on-site treatment and recycling. The site is in a water-stressed zone, and the project includes conservation measures to limit environmental impact.
