The request to monitor outputs at DAGWG has been noted . The development and testing work for Scottish Water's corporate system (P3M) upgrade to allow output reporting is now complete and will be put into production during November 2022. This will enable us to complete the exercise of remapping all live investment projects to the list of new SR21 Outputs. Scottish Water will work with WICS to understand the requirement and include this information in next financial year's reports The DAGWG will be kept informed of progress.
