Your Water and Its Future
Help us ensure how we can best secure your drinking water for the next 25 years
Every five years we update our water resources management plan which looks at how we’ll keep your taps running while striking that delicate balance between protecting the environment and keeping bills affordable.
Have your say on how we secure your drinking water for the next 25 years
All water companies prepare Water Resources Management Plans (WRMPs) which show how they will secure resilient water supplies for their customers for the next 25 years. We consider how much water we have available today, how much we need to supply in the future and then develop options to make up any difference.
These plans are updated every five years to make sure they always reflect the latest information, innovation and customer views.
We’ve already held conversations with you about your water supplies and what’s important to you and these have been taken into account in this draft plan.
We also have a Customer Challenge Group which is reviewing our work to engage with you and making sure your views are incorporated into all our future plans.
Here’s a quick summary of this plan:
- This plan caters for growth and is part of a solution to supply other areas of the South East where there’s less water
- We can do this by building a new reservoir at Havant Thicket – to store water, create a nature reserve and provide community facilities
- We’re planning for more extreme droughts than we’ve known before – so we’re ready for climate change
- We want to save water by reducing leaks by 15%
- We want to involve you in saving water with water meters, water-saving products and community campaigns
- This is your water supply and it’s your chance to have your say
