Together, we can protect water and nature.

Let’s save water together

Our region’s precious water resources are under increasing pressure from climate change and population growth. To keep our rivers, streams, wildlife, and future water supplies thriving, we need to work together to make better use of the water we already have.

Currently, residents in our area use more water than most at around 154 litres per person daily. That’s more than the national average of 139 litres and more than our neighbours in Sussex and Hampshire who use 127 litres on average. By saving up to 44 litres daily –about half a bathful– we can aim for a more sustainable 110 litres per person over the next 25 years.

We need to work together to preserve our region’s unique ecosystems and protect the surrounding biodiversity. By acting now, we can maintain an affordable, reliable, and sustainable supply of high-quality water for everyone in our communities, today and in the future.

Cutting leaks by 50%

Reducing leaks is a priority for everyone. In fact, you asked us to halve leakage sooner, so we’ve committed to doing this 10 years earlier than planned and we’ll reduce leaks by 16% by 2030. By improving our infrastructure and giving customers smart water meters, by 2040 we’re aiming to save up to 22 million litres every single day.

Boosting water flow

With over 3,000km of pipes connecting our region’s water supply, we’re always looking for ways to improve how we move water around. We’ll be future proofing our water supply by upgrading a ‘booster’ at one of our pumping stations.

Creating the first major UK reservoir in 30 years

Helping to protect some of our country’s rarest chalk streams, the River Test and the River Itchen (pictured), the environmentally-led Havant Thicket Reservoir project will provide an alternative, sustainable source of water for our region, as well as for our neighbours in West Sussex and Hampshire.
