We published our draft plans to secure healthy, reliable drinking water for our customers in Hampshire and West Sussex for the next 50 years for consultation between November 15, 2022 and February 20, 2023.
This consultation on our draft Water Resources Management Plan has now ended and we're reviewing your feedback. We'll publish a summary of the responses later this year, along with the updates we'll make.
Our summary and full technical documents are still available to read on this site.
This is our most ambitious and collaborative plan to date and maintains our long tradition of reliably supplying water at a price everyone can afford. It is based on a regional plan developed with five other water companies in the South East.
Our plan is focused on making better use of existing water, including:
Installing smart water meters for most homes
Offering customers support to save water, repair leaks and reduce bills
Reducing leaks by half by 2050
Helping businesses to save water and reduce leaks
Tapping into Government plans for efficiency labels on goods like dishwashers.
It will also see the likelihood of emergency restrictions in severe droughts, such as standpipes, reduce to only once every 500 years on average after 2039.
In later years, we plan to reduce the amount of water we share with Southern Water and potentially also import supplies from Southern Water. This could allow us to take less water for public supply from the underground chalk aquifers which support precious chalk streams, such as the Ems and Meon.
