The scheme uses gravity, rather than pumping, to get water from Barrow Gurney to Cheddar, significantly reducing energy usage. It has already demonstrated its value after being put into use during the 2018 heatwave. Winner: UNITED UTILITIES & THE CHALLENGE ACADEMY TRUST – TCAT MASTERCLASS The TCAT Masterclass worked to promote science, technology, engineering and maths among schoolchildren through a 16-week masterclass programme for year 9 students from four high schools. Teams from the four schools were matched with mentors from United Utilities, and set an engineering challenge to solve. The masterclass culminated in a final presentation of the work to a panel of judges and a celebration of the achievements of the teams. Resilience Initiative of the Year What the judges said: "This brought a range of benefits for the community, and the diversity of people involved and choice of an area that would not normally attract investment was impressive." What the judges said: "The stakes were really high and it helped Bristol Water in extremis in 2018." 10
