Near the rolling hills of the South Downs, we\'re surrounded by some of the country\'s most stunning views. This unique landscape is also home to rare wildlife found only in these areas, as well as several chalk streams—an exceptionally rare and biodiverse habitat, with 85% of the world’s chalk streams located in southern England.</strong>\r\n\r\nYet this wonderful landscape that we share is undergoing subtle changes driven by unwelcome visitors — Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS). These are plants and animals introduced from other areas that outcompete native wildlife. You might be familiar with the grey squirrel? This non-native species eradicated the red squirrel, that is now only usually seen on the Isle of Wight, safely away from their more dominant grey non-native species.\r\n\r\nINNS cost the British economy nearly £2 billion annually through damage to infrastructure, agriculture and natural resources, while silently weakening the biodiversity of our local and unique ecosystems.\r\n\r\nAs we mark Invasive Non-Native Species week from 12th-18th May 2025, it’s a reminder to address this challenge, as the good news is getting clued up on INNS is an important first step to managing the impacts.\r\n<h4>What are Invasive Non-Native Species</h4>\r\n<strong>Non-native species are plants and animals that have been introduced to the UK from all over the world. Most are harmless, but around 10-15% are invasive which spread and have a harmful impact.</strong>\r\n\r\nThese species could be introduced to an area outside their native range deliberately, for example as ornamental plants or exotic animals; or accidently as ‘hitchhikers’ – for example with goods transported from overseas or when returning from a holiday abroad.\r\nOnce these invasive species have been introduced, they are extremely difficult to control as they spread rapidly through eggs, young, seeds, spores or fragments.\r\n\r\nHere in the UK, they threaten the survival of native wildlife and damage our natural ecosystems by preying on or out-competing other plants and animals, disrupting habitats and ecosystems, or even spreading harmful diseases.\r\n<h4>The impact of INNS on water</h4>\r\nHere at Portsmouth Water, we’re not exempt from the threat that INNS pose. Around 40% of Britain’s 200+ registered INNS are known to be aquatic, threatening the health of the local water bodies. We take from groundwater, so while this has no risk to drinking water, it’s important we understand what invasive species are present and the impacts so we can:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manage the spread of INNS</li>\r\n 	<li>Enhance biodiversity in local habitats such as chalk streams</li>\r\n 	<li>Build resilience within our water supply as a healthy environment benefits the quality of the water we abstract.</li>\r\n 	<li>Comply with the law as it’s illegal to release, plant or allow to spread any non-native species into the wild under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Taking Action tackling the spread of Invasive Non-Native Species</strong>\r\n\r\nThe main species we tackle is Himalayan Balsam, introduced to the UK in the 1800s as an ornamental plant due to its beauty, it has since become one of the most invasive species.\r\n\r\nHimalayan Balsam spreads along riverbanks, forming dense bushes that release floating seeds and infect entire riverine systems. Its presence causes erosion, increasing sedimentation and affecting the water quality.\r\n\r\nOur abstraction along the River Itchen is infected annually by seeds floating down from upstream sources of the plant. Total eradication is extremely difficult, so we manage balsam on our section of the river, annually removing it in the summer months, which encourages plant growth of native species. We do this at our annual conservation working parties by pulling the plant, before it can spread its seeds – many hands make light work!\r\nOn the hermitage stream, which runs on our land at our head office in Havant, we employ contractors and support local conservation groups to remove the plant. As a result. much less Himalayan Balsam is growing, and with a few more years we hope to see the plants presence much more removed along the stream.\r\n\r\nWe have also identified Japanese Knotweed and Crassula on our land. These species are much harder to eradicate as tiny fragments of these plants can start whole new invasions. Therefore, we work to manage their spread by careful application of chemicals and controlling the area of infection to reduce its spread.\r\n<h4>What can you do</h4>\r\nWe work to manage and eradicate INNS where we can, protecting the rich and diverse natural flora and fauna we’re surrounded by. However, we need your support to achieve lasting success to ensure habitats are not continually re-invaded.\r\n\r\n<strong>You can help prevent the spread of invasive non-native species by following some simple steps.</strong>\r\n<h5>Remember: Check, clean, dry</h5>\r\nInvasive species are often spread accidently, particularly via recreational water activities. These can be spread on equipment, vehicles and clothing or in the movement of soil, water or garden waste.\r\n\r\nYou could accidentally be spreading them without realising through your work or hobbies - particularly water-based activities such as fishing, boating and paddle boarding.\r\n\r\nYou can help protect the environment and activities you enjoy by keeping your kit free of invasive plants and animals, whenever you leave the water remember to:\r\n<h5>Be plant wise</h5>\r\nYou can also help by understanding what plant you grow. Plants are vital for our health and environment, and many of us have plants in our gardens and ponds that are not native. However, it’s important to be aware of what species are invasive as if they escape, they will harm our natural wildlife, economy and even our health!\r\n\r\nBe plant wise by following these three simples tips in your home and community gardening:\r\n<h4>Together, we can help biodiversity thrive</h4>\r\nThe challenge posed by invasive non-native species may seem overwhelming, but together we can make a significant difference to protect the unique biodiversity of our communities.\r\n\r\nOur work with Himalayan balsam has been effectively controlled through coordinated community action at the river, proving that local engagement represents our best tool against these ecological disruptors.\r\n\r\nAs Invasive Species Week unfolds, we invite you to become a citizen scientist in this vital effort by following the advice in our article.

These can be spread on equipment, vehicles and clothing or in the movement of soil, water or garden waste.\r\n\r\nYou could accidentally be spreading them without realising through your work or hobbies - particularly water-based activities such as fishing, boating and paddle boarding.\r\n\r\nYou can help protect the environment and activities you enjoy by keeping your kit free of invasive plants and animals, whenever you leave the water remember to:\r\n<h5>Be plant wise</h5>\r\nYou can also help by understanding what plant you grow. Plants are vital for our health and environment, and many of us have plants in our gardens and ponds that are not native. However, it’s important to be aware of what species are invasive as if they escape, they will harm our natural wildlife, economy and even our health!\r\n\r\nBe plant wise by following these three simples tips in your home and community gardening:\r\n<h4>Together, we can help biodiversity thrive</h4>\r\nThe challenge posed by invasive non-native species may seem overwhelming, but together we can make a significant difference to protect the unique biodiversity of our communities.\r\n\r\nOur work with Himalayan balsam has been effectively controlled through coordinated community action at the river, proving that local engagement represents our best tool against these ecological disruptors.\r\n\r\nAs Invasive Species Week unfolds, we invite you to become a citizen scientist in this vital effort by following the advice in our article. Together, we can work together to protect our precious waterways.', 'Non-Native Species Week | 12th - 18th May 2025', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '15420-revision-v1', '', '', '2025-05-15 13:48:36', '2025-05-15 12:48:36', '', 15420, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/?p=15433', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

For more information, please see the ‘Priority Services Register – Helping Our Vulnerable Customers’ section of this Notice.\r\n\r\nWe also collect information about you from third parties, examples being:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>If you are a tenant, your Landlord or letting agent may provide us with personal data in order to set up or close down your water account at their property.</li>\r\n 	<li>A new resident at a former supply address, estate/letting agent or solicitor acting on behalf of you or a new resident of a former supply address (e.g. where you are moving home and the third party is providing a forwarding address - with or without your consent).</li>\r\n 	<li>Your sewerage company to ensure accurate billing.</li>\r\n 	<li>Debt Management and Tracing Agencies will provide us with contact information (emails and telephone numbers) to allow us to contact and locate individuals for debt collection purposes.</li>\r\n 	<li>We may receive information from Local Authorities and Local Councils for the purpose of making sure you are on the most appropriate water tariff, and we will contact you in relation to the same.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe record all phone calls, incoming and out-going, made by departments that deal directly with customers, including Customer Services, Networks, Water Quality and Wholesale Services.

If you contact us using social media to report an issue and we need more information, we will ask you to private message us with suitable communication information which we will use to contact you in order to resolve your concern or gather additional information for our investigation.\r\n<h3>Contacting us by telephone</h3>\r\nWhen you contact us by telephone, your telephone number will be added to your account so that contact with you in relation to your water account can be made more convenient.\r\n\r\nWe will use a telephone number listed on your account to call or text you to provide you with essential service messages.\r\n\r\nWhen contacting us outside of our normal working hours, (between 5pm-8am Monday to Friday and over the weekend), your call will be dealt with by our ‘out-of-hours’ partner who are working with us to ensure our customers can contact us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our partner will collect information from you to allow us to deal with your call efficiently. <strong>Emailing us</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you email us, we will respond to you using the email address you gave us. Your email address will be added to your account and will be used by us to provide you with essential service messages. Please try to avoid sending personal data by email as this is not considered to be a secure communication method.\r\n\r\nAny email sent to Portsmouth Water, including any attachments, will be monitored and assessed by our security partners for reasons of security and to check compliance. Emails are also backed up by our data processor Mimecast.\r\n\r\nPlease be aware that you have a responsibility to ensure that any email you send to us is within the bounds of the law.\r\n<h3>Contacting us via WebChat</h3>\r\nWe use a third party provider, currently LiveChat, to supply and support our Webchat service, which we use to handle customer enquires in real time.\r\n\r\nIf you use the WebChat service we will collect your name, postal address, account number (optional) and email address (optional) as well as the contents of your WebChat session. The information provided will be added to your account.\r\n\r\nYou can request a transcript of your WebChat session once completed. This is sent to the email address you have the option to provide when logging in to the service. <strong>Visiting our Offices</strong>\r\n\r\nYou will be required to sign into our Visitor Management System when you arrive at our Head Office. We will collect your name, contact number, car registration (if applicable), the name of the company you work for (if applicable) and a photo of you will be taken. A printed ID will be produced for you to display on the provided lanyard and must be worn at all times when you are on Company premises. Your data will be held securely within this system for 1 month before being fully deleted.\r\n\r\nOur premises are monitored by CCTV so your image will be captured whenever you enter our site boundary. There are signs to show you when you are entering an area monitored by CCTV. CCTV images are held for 30 days and then deleted. In the case of suspected criminal activity CCTV images will be held for longer and will be shared with the relevant local authority (e.g. the Police), as appropriate.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Priority Services Register (PSR) – Helping our vulnerable customers"]\r\n\r\nOur Priority Services Register is a free service for customers who may need additional assistance either in communicating with us or in the event of a water supply interruption/emergency. Priority Services customers include those with physical or mental impairments, medical conditions, the elderly or those with young families. These customers may not be able to easily leave their home to collect bottled water in a water emergency.\r\n\r\nThe PSR allows us to quickly and efficiently identify those customers who require support in water events, and also allows support to be identified when planning work that may impact the water supply, as well as how we communicate with our customers.\r\n\r\nThe data is processed following individuals themselves, or third parties acting on their behalf (e.g. a family member, a charity, a support worker, a carer etc) signing up to the PSR by completing a hard-copy or online form or by calling our Customer Services Team. The individual provides the required information which, as well as that already described, will also include contact details (name, address, email, telephone number). On receiving this information, the relevant \'Needs Code(s)\' and/or updates will be made on to the relevant customer account. \'Needs Codes\' are entries that can be searched to identify the support that is needed through reports that we can run when we are required to do so.\r\n\r\nWe share PSR data with the energy sector, and other trusted third parties, to ensure that the assistance and support required by individuals can also be provided quickly and efficiently by these third parties. The support provided by these third parties may differ from that of Portsmouth Water\'s support.\r\n\r\nIndividuals can request to be removed from the PSR at any time, but we will first review the request and may then discuss this with the individual to make sure it is in their best interest.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Smart Water Meters "]\r\n\r\nFrom 2025 we will commence the roll out of Smart Water Meters. We’ll install Smart Water Meters for all the homes and businesses we supply by 2035, with 130,000 new meters installed by 2030. We will write to you to let you know when your property is having a Smart Water Meter fitted, however, if you’re unsure whether you have been upgraded to a Smart Water Meter, please phone our Customer Services team on 023 9224 9666.\r\n\r\nPlease read our separate <a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/about-us/legal-notice/">Smart Meter Privacy Notice</a> to find out how we process and use meter data to engage with customers.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Havant Thicket Public Consultation and Project "]\r\n\r\nIf you live close to the location of our new Havant Thicket Reservoir, you\'ll receive communications from us to keep you up to date with the project and/or to inform you of planned works that may require some form of action from yourself (e.g. to move your car to allow surveys to be completed). We may need to seek assistance from mail printing companies to issue these communications to you and if this is required we will share your name and address. The data will only be shared when necessary and will be deleted within 4 weeks of a communication campaign ending.\r\n\r\nWe have a separate website for the Havant Thicket Reservoir project at <a href="https://havant-thicket-reservoir.uk.engagementhq.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://havant-thicket-reservoir.uk.engagementhq.com/</a>. The Privacy Notice on that website details how your data will be used if you decide to register. If you register, and ask a question or provide comments and ask for contact to follow up on this, your contact details will be shared with the relevant consultant to allow a response to be provided. Drones may be used on the Havant Thicket Reservoir site and clear signage will be in place to ensure visitors are aware.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Customers who fall into arrears or fail to pay their bill"]\r\n\r\nIn respect to a customer’s responsibility for paying their bills, Portsmouth Water has a regulatory requirement to provide a safe, maintained supply of fresh water to your property. In section 5 of our Water Charges Scheme we explain that water charges are payable by the occupier of the premises, or the person who uses the supply, except where the owner of the premises is liable by enactment or by agreement with Portsmouth Water. Our Water Charges Scheme is further supported by the Water Industry Act 1991, which gives Water Companies the powers to charge and recover charges. This is referred to in Section 142 of the Water Industry Act 1991.\r\n\r\nThe information that we hold about customers will be used to recover arrears in line with our regulatory obligations and in doing so we use third party debt collection / management companies and credit reference agencies to assist us, this may include third parties undertaking Court Action on our behalf.\r\n\r\nWe use elements of automated decision making and profiling to identify appropriate debt recovery strategies.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Our Non-Household customers"]\r\n\r\nNon-household customers are non-incorporated businesses whose retail services (e.g. customer services, billing) are provided by a separate water retail company, but whose premises are physically connected to our water network. We provide these customers with a wholesale service.\r\n\r\nInsofar as limited personal information is collected in relation to non-incorporated businesses, both Portsmouth Water and the relevant water retailer are each separate Controllers of the personal data of the non-household customers in our service areas.

Our partner will collect information from you to allow us to deal with your call efficiently. <strong>Emailing us</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you email us, we will respond to you using the email address you gave us. Your email address will be added to your account and will be used by us to provide you with essential service messages. Please try to avoid sending personal data by email as this is not considered to be a secure communication method.\r\n\r\nAny email sent to Portsmouth Water, including any attachments, will be monitored and assessed by our security partners for reasons of security and to check compliance.

There are signs to show you when you are entering an area monitored by CCTV. CCTV images are held for 30 days and then deleted. In the case of suspected criminal activity CCTV images will be held for longer and will be shared with the relevant local authority (e.g. the Police), as appropriate.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Priority Services Register (PSR) – Helping our vulnerable customers"]\r\n\r\nOur Priority Services Register is a free service for customers who may need additional assistance either in communicating with us or in the event of a water supply interruption/emergency. Priority Services customers include those with physical or mental impairments, medical conditions, the elderly or those with young families. These customers may not be able to easily leave their home to collect bottled water in a water emergency.\r\n\r\nThe PSR allows us to quickly and efficiently identify those customers who require support in water events, and also allows support to be identified when planning work that may impact the water supply, as well as how we communicate with our customers.\r\n\r\nThe data is processed following individuals themselves, or third parties acting on their behalf (e.g. a family member, a charity, a support worker, a carer etc) signing up to the PSR by completing a hard-copy or online form or by calling our Customer Services Team. The individual provides the required information which, as well as that already described, will also include contact details (name, address, email, telephone number). On receiving this information, the relevant \'Needs Code(s)\' and/or updates will be made on to the relevant customer account. \'Needs Codes\' are entries that can be searched to identify the support that is needed through reports that we can run when we are required to do so.\r\n\r\nWe share PSR data with the energy sector, and other trusted third parties, to ensure that the assistance and support required by individuals can also be provided quickly and efficiently by these third parties. The support provided by these third parties may differ from that of Portsmouth Water\'s support.\r\n\r\nIndividuals can request to be removed from the PSR at any time, but we will first review the request and may then discuss this with the individual to make sure it is in their best interest.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Smart Water Meters "]\r\n\r\nFrom 2025 we will commence the roll out of Smart Water Meters.

We may need to seek assistance from mail printing companies to issue these communications to you and if this is required we will share your name and address. The data will only be shared when necessary and will be deleted within 4 weeks of a communication campaign ending.\r\n\r\nWe have a separate website for the Havant Thicket Reservoir project at <a href="https://havant-thicket-reservoir.uk.engagementhq.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://havant-thicket-reservoir.uk.engagementhq.com/</a>. The Privacy Notice on that website details how your data will be used if you decide to register. If you register, and ask a question or provide comments and ask for contact to follow up on this, your contact details will be shared with the relevant consultant to allow a response to be provided. Drones may be used on the Havant Thicket Reservoir site and clear signage will be in place to ensure visitors are aware.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Customers who fall into arrears or fail to pay their bill"]\r\n\r\nIn respect to a customer’s responsibility for paying their bills, Portsmouth Water has a regulatory requirement to provide a safe, maintained supply of fresh water to your property. In section 5 of our Water Charges Scheme we explain that water charges are payable by the occupier of the premises, or the person who uses the supply, except where the owner of the premises is liable by enactment or by agreement with Portsmouth Water. Our Water Charges Scheme is further supported by the Water Industry Act 1991, which gives Water Companies the powers to charge and recover charges. This is referred to in Section 142 of the Water Industry Act 1991.\r\n\r\nThe information that we hold about customers will be used to recover arrears in line with our regulatory obligations and in doing so we use third party debt collection / management companies and credit reference agencies to assist us, this may include third parties undertaking Court Action on our behalf.\r\n\r\nWe use elements of automated decision making and profiling to identify appropriate debt recovery strategies.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Our Non-Household customers"]\r\n\r\nNon-household customers are non-incorporated businesses whose retail services (e.g. customer services, billing) are provided by a separate water retail company, but whose premises are physically connected to our water network. We provide these customers with a wholesale service.\r\n\r\nInsofar as limited personal information is collected in relation to non-incorporated businesses, both Portsmouth Water and the relevant water retailer are each separate Controllers of the personal data of the non-household customers in our service areas. Data protection laws are applied to non-household/business customers only to the extent that we process personal data of individuals (e.g., personal data of sole traders or company representatives).\r\n<h3>Information we collect from you and what we do with it</h3>\r\nOur purpose is to use this data to provide a wholesale water service to our non-household customers and their retailers by carrying out activities such as:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Supplying non-household customers with water in line with our legal and regulatory obligations;</li>\r\n 	<li>Recording and fixing service problems e.g. water pressure issues and burst water pipes;</li>\r\n 	<li>Maintaining our pipes and other assets;</li>\r\n 	<li>Dealing with emergency events;</li>\r\n 	<li>Maintaining, monitoring and reporting drinking water quality;</li>\r\n 	<li>Supporting non-household customers in improving water efficiency;</li>\r\n 	<li>Metering – making appointments, meter fitting and repairing;</li>\r\n 	<li>Collecting, analysing and sharing meter data from Smart Water Meters and data loggers to monitor consumption and leakage and enable accurate billing;</li>\r\n 	<li>Making payments – for example Guaranteed Service Standards (GSS);</li>\r\n 	<li>Working with farmers in our area on catchment studies to reduce pollution;</li>\r\n 	<li>Non-household customer communications around street works and incidents;</li>\r\n 	<li>Dealing with claims after service incidents;</li>\r\n 	<li>Managing enquiries and complaints;</li>\r\n 	<li>Assessing allowances and abatements;</li>\r\n 	<li>Carrying out vacant property checks and site visits to check meter and supply details, and;</li>\r\n 	<li>Demonstrating compliance with our legal obligations to our regulators.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nMore information on the wholesale services we provide to non-household customers can be found on our website at <a href="http://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/business/">www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/business/</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>What type of personal information do we process?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe information processed includes:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Non-household customer contact and supply address details.</li>\r\n 	<li>Asset and incident information linked to the service that may identify the non-household customer for example, but not limited to, meter serial number, business meter readings, including 15 minute meter readings where data loggers have been fitted and are enabled.</li>\r\n 	<li>Information required to process insurance claims, for example, but not limited to, damage to a property due to flooding from our asset.</li>\r\n 	<li>Information required to produce regulatory reports, for example, reporting the number of customer complaints.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nOur legal basis for processing personal data for these activities is Article 6(1)(e) of the UK GDPR, which allows us to process personal data when this is necessary to perform our public tasks as a regulated business in line with the rules and requirements set out by our regulators, such as Ofwat.\r\n<h3>Sharing data with third parties</h3>\r\nTo provide our services in an efficient and effective way, your personal data may be provided to us by your retailer and we\'ll share this with our service providers, for example, sharing Developer details with Retailers when a supply point is created in the market to enable the Retailer to produce bills. We’ll share with the Market Operator Services Limited (MOSL) as required, for example, in registering and de-registering supply points (please see MOSL’s Summary of Agreements for more information <a href="https://mosl.co.uk/documents-publications/1427-summary-of-arrangements/file" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://mosl.co.uk/documents-publications/1427-summary-of-arrangements/file</a><a href="https://mosl.co.uk/documents-publications/1427-summary-of-arrangements/file">)</a>.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Developer Services"]\r\n\r\nThis section of our Privacy Notice explains how we use personal data in relation to the development of a site or property.

This is based on a profiled risk score provided by Credit Reference Agencies. We use the score to assess the likelihood of a customer being able to repay their debt. Risk scores are also used to determine which payment terms are most appropriate to any particular situation, as well as the appropriate way to support a customer if they fail to make payment or engage with us.\r\n\r\nWhenever we use automated decision making that is likely to have a significant effect on someone, we ensure that there is a process for review by a human being.\r\n\r\nProfiling is analysing information in a way that classifies individuals into different groups using algorithms or machine-learning.

For two decades, we’ve committed ourselves to creating a safe, healthy workplace, and we’re proud to say that this has once again been recognised with a prestigious RoSPA Order of Distinction. This award marks 20 consecutive years of achieving RoSPA Gold, a rare milestone in the field of health and safety.\r\n\r\nThe RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Health and Safety Awards are among the most respected and recognised safety schemes in the world. With entries from organisations across the globe, they celebrate those who go above and beyond to protect lives and prevent harm — not just to employees, but to contractors and members of the public too.\r\n\r\nReflecting on this achievement, we asked Ian Adams, a leader in Health and Safety at Portsmouth Water, to share his thoughts on what it takes to build and sustain a culture of care:\r\n\r\nSafety. Always. – by Ian Adams\r\nWe don’t think of safety as just another business priority — those priorities can change. We see safety is something we consider, always.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThat mindset runs deep. True leadership in health and safety cannot just be about measuring compliance against policies and procedures.

Near the rolling hills of the South Downs, we\'re surrounded by some of the country\'s most stunning views. This unique landscape is also home to rare wildlife found only in these areas, as well as several chalk streams—an exceptionally rare and biodiverse habitat, with 85% of the world’s chalk streams located in southern England.</strong>\r\n\r\nYet this wonderful landscape that we share is undergoing subtle changes driven by unwelcome visitors — Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS). These are plants and animals introduced from other areas that outcompete native wildlife. You might be familiar with the grey squirrel? This non-native species eradicated the red squirrel, that is now only usually seen on the Isle of Wight, safely away from their more dominant grey non-native species.\r\n\r\nINNS cost the British economy nearly £2 billion annually through damage to infrastructure, agriculture and natural resources, while silently weakening the biodiversity of our local and unique ecosystems.\r\n\r\nAs we mark Invasive Non-Native Species week from 12th-18th May 2025, it’s a reminder to address this challenge, as the good news is getting clued up on INNS is an important first step to managing the impacts.\r\n<h4>What are Invasive Non-Native Species</h4>\r\n<strong>Non-native species are plants and animals that have been introduced to the UK from all over the world. Most are harmless, but around 10-15% are invasive which spread and have a harmful impact.</strong>\r\n\r\nThese species could be introduced to an area outside their native range deliberately, for example as ornamental plants or exotic animals; or accidently as ‘hitchhikers’ – for example with goods transported from overseas or when returning from a holiday abroad.\r\nOnce these invasive species have been introduced, they are extremely difficult to control as they spread rapidly through eggs, young, seeds, spores or fragments.\r\n\r\nHere in the UK, they threaten the survival of native wildlife and damage our natural ecosystems by preying on or out-competing other plants and animals, disrupting habitats and ecosystems, or even spreading harmful diseases.\r\n<h4>The impact of INNS on water</h4>\r\nHere at Portsmouth Water, we’re not exempt from the threat that INNS pose. Around 40% of Britain’s 200+ registered INNS are known to be aquatic, threatening the health of the local water bodies. We take from groundwater, so while this has no risk to drinking water, it’s important we understand what invasive species are present and the impacts so we can:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Manage the spread of INNS</li>\r\n 	<li>Enhance biodiversity in local habitats such as chalk streams</li>\r\n 	<li>Build resilience within our water supply as a healthy environment benefits the quality of the water we abstract.</li>\r\n 	<li>Comply with the law as it’s illegal to release, plant or allow to spread any non-native species into the wild under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Taking Action tackling the spread of Invasive Non-Native Species</strong>\r\n\r\nThe main species we tackle is Himalayan Balsam, introduced to the UK in the 1800s as an ornamental plant due to its beauty, it has since become one of the most invasive species.\r\n\r\nHimalayan Balsam spreads along riverbanks, forming dense bushes that release floating seeds and infect entire riverine systems. Its presence causes erosion, increasing sedimentation and affecting the water quality.\r\n\r\nOur abstraction along the River Itchen is infected annually by seeds floating down from upstream sources of the plant. Total eradication is extremely difficult, so we manage balsam on our section of the river, annually removing it in the summer months, which encourages plant growth of native species. We do this at our annual conservation working parties by pulling the plant, before it can spread its seeds – many hands make light work!\r\nOn the hermitage stream, which runs on our land at our head office in Havant, we employ contractors and support local conservation groups to remove the plant. As a result. much less Himalayan Balsam is growing, and with a few more years we hope to see the plants presence much more removed along the stream.\r\n\r\nWe have also identified Japanese Knotweed and Crassula on our land. These species are much harder to eradicate as tiny fragments of these plants can start whole new invasions. Therefore, we work to manage their spread by careful application of chemicals and controlling the area of infection to reduce its spread.\r\n<h4>What can you do</h4>\r\nWe work to manage and eradicate INNS where we can, protecting the rich and diverse natural flora and fauna we’re surrounded by. However, we need your support to achieve lasting success to ensure habitats are not continually re-invaded.\r\n\r\n<strong>You can help prevent the spread of invasive non-native species by following some simple steps.</strong>\r\n<h5>Remember: Check, clean, dry</h5>\r\nInvasive species are often spread accidently, particularly via recreational water activities. These can be spread on equipment, vehicles and clothing or in the movement of soil, water or garden waste.\r\n\r\nYou could accidentally be spreading them without realising through your work or hobbies - particularly water-based activities such as fishing, boating and paddle boarding.\r\n\r\nYou can help protect the environment and activities you enjoy by keeping your kit free of invasive plants and animals, whenever you leave the water remember to:\r\n<h5>Be plant wise</h5>\r\nYou can also help by understanding what plant you grow. Plants are vital for our health and environment, and many of us have plants in our gardens and ponds that are not native. However, it’s important to be aware of what species are invasive as if they escape, they will harm our natural wildlife, economy and even our health!\r\n\r\nBe plant wise by following these three simples tips in your home and community gardening:\r\n<h4>Together, we can help biodiversity thrive</h4>\r\nThe challenge posed by invasive non-native species may seem overwhelming, but together we can make a significant difference to protect the unique biodiversity of our communities.\r\n\r\nOur work with Himalayan balsam has been effectively controlled through coordinated community action at the river, proving that local engagement represents our best tool against these ecological disruptors.\r\n\r\nAs Invasive Species Week unfolds, we invite you to become a citizen scientist in this vital effort by following the advice in our article.

For two decades, we’ve committed ourselves to creating a safe, healthy workplace, and we’re proud to say that this has once again been recognised with a prestigious RoSPA Order of Distinction. This award marks 20 consecutive years of achieving RoSPA Gold, a rare milestone in the field of health and safety.\r\n\r\nThe RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Health and Safety Awards are among the most respected and recognised safety schemes in the world. With entries from organisations across the globe, they celebrate those who go above and beyond to protect lives and prevent harm — not just to employees, but to contractors and members of the public too.\r\n\r\nReflecting on this achievement, we asked Ian Adams, a leader in Health and Safety at Portsmouth Water, to share his thoughts on what it takes to build and sustain a culture of care:\r\n\r\nSafety. Always. – by Ian Adams\r\nWe don’t think of safety as just another business priority — those priorities can change. We see safety is something we consider, always.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThat mindset runs deep. True leadership in health and safety cannot just be about measuring compliance against policies and procedures. It requires diverse knowledge and experience of the business operation to understand the environments our people work in.\r\n\r\nWorking together to get it right\r\n\r\nA culture that protects people\r\nUltimately, awards are a fantastic way to mark celebrate our progress — but the most important outcome is that our people go home safe and well. We’re proud to report that we’ve had no RIDDOR-reportable incidents in the past three years, and we’ll keep working hard to maintain that record.\r\n\r\nBut it’s not just about our history — it’s about where we’re going. The health, safety and wellbeing of our people is something we’ll keep striving to improve, every single day.\r\n\r\nCongratulations to everyone across Portsmouth Water who has played a part in this achievement — and here’s to continuing upholding safety within our place of work.', 'Stef Nienaltowski on launching Independent Challenge Group', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '15524-revision-v1', '', '', '2025-06-23 18:39:24', '2025-06-23 17:39:24', '', 15524, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/?p=15525', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

We have therefore revised our WRMP19 so that we fully understand what our performance has meant in terms of our supply-demand balance for a range of scenarios all the way up to a 1in 200 year drought event. This is necessary in order to investigate whether there would be a security of supply risk to our customers during any of these drought events, and to the water we transfer to Southern during more extreme droughts.\r\n\r\nThe updated supply-demand balances demonstrate that we are no longer meeting our target headroom in a 1 in 200 year drought event, for the reasons highlighted in our previous Annual Review. This means there is an increased risk of us needing to implement severe demand restrictions in an extreme drought.\r\n\r\nWe have been working with the Environment Agency in the development of this Revised WRMP19, and will continue to do so as we progress through AMP7. This will include reviewing the most up-to-date data and knowledge that emerges during the development of the Water Resources in the South East (WRSE) regional plan and our WRMP24.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to know more about our Revised WRMP19, please contact us via <a href="mailto:Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk">Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk</a>\r\n<h2>Documents</h2>\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Portsmouth-Water_rWRMP19_Dec_2022.pdf">Portsmouth Water Revised WRMP19 report</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Revised-WRMP-Tables-–-1-in-200-year.zip">Revised WRMP Tables - 1 in 200 year</a>\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Final Water Resources Management Plan 2019"]\r\n<div style="background-color: #bad6e8; padding: 8px 0;">\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;">Your Water and Its Future</h2>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style="background-color: #0079c2; padding: 12px; color: #fff; margin-bottom: 10px;">\r\n<h3 style="text-align: center; color: #fff;">Thank you for helping us plan to ensure we can secure your drinking water for the next 25 years</h3>\r\nEvery 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.\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Final-Water-Resources-Management-Plan-2019.pdf">Download the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/WRMP_2020_FINAL.pdf">Download the Summary of the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>On 4 November 2019 Defra confirmed we can now publish our Water Resources Management Plan, which says how we will secure your drinking water for the next 25 years.</strong>\r\n\r\nAll 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 have therefore revised our WRMP19 so that we fully understand what our performance has meant in terms of our supply-demand balance for a range of scenarios all the way up to a 1in 200 year drought event. This is necessary in order to investigate whether there would be a security of supply risk to our customers during any of these drought events, and to the water we transfer to Southern during more extreme droughts.\r\n\r\nThe updated supply-demand balances demonstrate that we are no longer meeting our target headroom in a 1 in 200 year drought event, for the reasons highlighted in our previous Annual Review. This means there is an increased risk of us needing to implement severe demand restrictions in an extreme drought.\r\n\r\nWe have been working with the Environment Agency in the development of this Revised WRMP19, and will continue to do so as we progress through AMP7. This will include reviewing the most up-to-date data and knowledge that emerges during the development of the Water Resources in the South East (WRSE) regional plan and our WRMP24.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to know more about our Revised WRMP19, please contact us via <a href="mailto:Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk">Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk</a>\r\n<h2>Documents</h2>\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Portsmouth-Water_rWRMP19_Dec_2022.pdf">Portsmouth Water Revised WRMP19 report</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Revised-WRMP-Tables-–-1-in-200-year.zip">Revised WRMP Tables - 1 in 200 year</a>\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Final Water Resources Management Plan 2019"]\r\n<div style="background-color: #bad6e8; padding: 8px 0;">\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;">Your Water and Its Future</h2>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style="background-color: #0079c2; padding: 12px; color: #fff; margin-bottom: 10px;">\r\n<h3 style="text-align: center; color: #fff;">Thank you for helping us plan to ensure we can secure your drinking water for the next 25 years</h3>\r\nEvery 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.\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Final-Water-Resources-Management-Plan-2019.pdf">Download the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/WRMP_2020_FINAL.pdf">Download the Summary of the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>On 4 November 2019 Defra confirmed we can now publish our Water Resources Management Plan, which says how we will secure your drinking water for the next 25 years.</strong>\r\n\r\nAll 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.

This is the first of two public viewing areas which are opening on site this summer, reflecting Portsmouth Water’s commitment to involve and engage the local community at every stage of the project’s development.\r\n\r\nWater Minister, Emma Hardy MP, said: “The construction of Havant Thicket is a major milestone in securing precious water resources for this country for generations to come.\r\n\r\n“Every drop of investment will help ensure a more sustainable and resilient water future, protecting the local environment and creating jobs.\r\n\r\n“We’ve secured £104 billion in private investment going into fixing the foundations of our water system, which includes more new reservoirs like Havant Thicket and repairing leaks.”\r\n\r\nBob Taylor, Chief Executive Officer for Portsmouth Water, said:\r\n\r\n“It was an absolute privilege to welcome the Water Minister, Emma Hardy MP, to Portsmouth Water and our flagship Havant Thicket Reservoir last week.\r\n\r\n“This is an incredibly exciting time for us as a company. Not only are we embarking on our largest ever investment programme, we’re also delivering the first major new UK reservoir in more than three decades. At both a regional and national level, the water resources situation is changing, with the big driver being to leave more water in the environment to benefit nature.\r\n\r\n“Havant Thicket Reservoir will play a fundamental role in this, protecting two of Hampshire’s precious chalk rivers by providing a new, sustainable source of water for the South East. We’re making excellent progress on site and were delighted to show the Minister our new public viewing area, an exciting vantage point for our community to see progress.\r\n\r\n“We look forward to welcoming the Water Minister and her team back in future, and would like to thank her for taking the time to visit us.”\r\n\r\nThe Minister was joined for the visit by Chief Executive of Portsmouth Water, Bob Taylor, Chief Executive of Southern Water, Lawrence Gosden, and members of Portsmouth Water’s Board.\r\n\r\nOnce complete, the new Havant Thicket Reservoir will hold up to 8.7 billion litres of water and, under current plans, be able to supply 21 million litres per day in long periods of dry weather. This will enable a transfer of water to neighbour Southern Water, allowing them to reduce abstraction from the Test and Itchen rivers in their supply area. In addition, the new reservoir will become a green leisure hub for the area, with a visitor centre, wetland and network of footpaths, cycle routes and bridleways.\r\n\r\nThe reservoir itself is being constructed by Future Water MJJV Ltd – a joint venture between leading civil engineering contractors Mackley and Jones Bros, which have a combined total of over 150 years of experience in tackling complex and challenging civil engineering schemes.\r\n\r\nThe associated pipelines which will be used to fill the reservoir with water and draw it down when needed will be installed by Ward &amp; Burke Construction Limited, one of Ireland’s principal Civil &amp; MEICA Engineering contractors with an outstanding track record for innovation.\r\n\r\nUpfront funding for the reservoir is being put forward by infrastructure investor Ancala and a consortium of leading banks. The costs will be funded over time by Southern Water’s water supply customer bills.\r\n\r\nFor more information about Havant Thicket Reservoir, visit: <a href="https://havant-thicket-reservoir.uk.engagementhq.com/">https://havant-thicket-reservoir.uk.engagementhq.com/</a>', 'Water Minister Emma Hardy MP visits first major new UK reservoir in over three decades', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'open', '', 'water-minister-emma-hardy-mp-visits-first-major-new-uk-reservoir-in-over-three-decades', '', '', '2025-07-07 15:10:52', '2025-07-07 14:10:52', '', 0, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/?p=15563', 14, 'post', '', 0);

We have therefore revised our WRMP19 so that we fully understand what our performance has meant in terms of our supply-demand balance for a range of scenarios all the way up to a 1in 200 year drought event. This is necessary in order to investigate whether there would be a security of supply risk to our customers during any of these drought events, and to the water we transfer to Southern during more extreme droughts.\r\n\r\nThe updated supply-demand balances demonstrate that we are no longer meeting our target headroom in a 1 in 200 year drought event, for the reasons highlighted in our previous Annual Review. This means there is an increased risk of us needing to implement severe demand restrictions in an extreme drought.\r\n\r\nWe have been working with the Environment Agency in the development of this Revised WRMP19, and will continue to do so as we progress through AMP7. This will include reviewing the most up-to-date data and knowledge that emerges during the development of the Water Resources in the South East (WRSE) regional plan and our WRMP24.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to know more about our Revised WRMP19, please contact us via <a href="mailto:Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk">Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk</a>\r\n<h2>Documents</h2>\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Portsmouth-Water_rWRMP19_Dec_2022.pdf">Portsmouth Water Revised WRMP19 report</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Revised-WRMP-Tables-–-1-in-200-year.zip">Revised WRMP Tables - 1 in 200 year</a>\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Final Water Resources Management Plan 2019"]\r\n<div style="background-color: #bad6e8; padding: 8px 0;">\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;">Your Water and Its Future</h2>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style="background-color: #0079c2; padding: 12px; color: #fff; margin-bottom: 10px;">\r\n<h3 style="text-align: center; color: #fff;">Thank you for helping us plan to ensure we can secure your drinking water for the next 25 years</h3>\r\nEvery 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.\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Final-Water-Resources-Management-Plan-2019.pdf">Download the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/WRMP_2020_FINAL.pdf">Download the Summary of the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>On 4 November 2019 Defra confirmed we can now publish our Water Resources Management Plan, which says how we will secure your drinking water for the next 25 years.</strong>\r\n\r\nAll 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 have therefore revised our WRMP19 so that we fully understand what our performance has meant in terms of our supply-demand balance for a range of scenarios all the way up to a 1in 200 year drought event. This is necessary in order to investigate whether there would be a security of supply risk to our customers during any of these drought events, and to the water we transfer to Southern during more extreme droughts.\r\n\r\nThe updated supply-demand balances demonstrate that we are no longer meeting our target headroom in a 1 in 200 year drought event, for the reasons highlighted in our previous Annual Review. This means there is an increased risk of us needing to implement severe demand restrictions in an extreme drought.\r\n\r\nWe have been working with the Environment Agency in the development of this Revised WRMP19, and will continue to do so as we progress through AMP7. This will include reviewing the most up-to-date data and knowledge that emerges during the development of the Water Resources in the South East (WRSE) regional plan and our WRMP24.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to know more about our Revised WRMP19, please contact us via <a href="mailto:Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk">Water.Resources@portsmouthwater.co.uk</a>\r\n<h2>Documents</h2>\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Portsmouth-Water_rWRMP19_Dec_2022.pdf">Portsmouth Water Revised WRMP19 report</a>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Revised-WRMP-Tables-–-1-in-200-year.zip">Revised WRMP Tables - 1 in 200 year</a>\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Final Water Resources Management Plan 2019"]\r\n<div style="background-color: #bad6e8; padding: 8px 0;">\r\n<h2 style="text-align: center;">Your Water and Its Future</h2>\r\n</div>\r\n<div style="background-color: #0079c2; padding: 12px; color: #fff; margin-bottom: 10px;">\r\n<h3 style="text-align: center; color: #fff;">Thank you for helping us plan to ensure we can secure your drinking water for the next 25 years</h3>\r\nEvery 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.\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Final-Water-Resources-Management-Plan-2019.pdf">Download the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n<p style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: #fff; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/WRMP_2020_FINAL.pdf">Download the Summary of the Final Water Resources Management Plan</a></p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>On 4 November 2019 Defra confirmed we can now publish our Water Resources Management Plan, which says how we will secure your drinking water for the next 25 years.</strong>\r\n\r\nAll 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.\r\n\r\nThese plans are updated every five years to make sure they always reflect the latest information, innovation and customer views.\r\n\r\nIn preparing our plan we held conversations with customers and stakeholders over the last two years about your water supplies and what’s important to you and these have been taken into account in this plan.\r\n\r\nWe also have a Customer Challenge Group which has reviewed our work to engage with you and making sure your views are incorporated into all our future plans.\r\n\r\nHere’s a quick summary of this plan:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>This plan caters for growth and is part of a solution to supply other areas of the South East where there’s less water</li>\r\n 	<li>We will do this by building a new reservoir at Havant Thicket – to store water, create a nature reserve and provide community facilities</li>\r\n 	<li>We’re planning for more extreme droughts than we’ve known before – so we’re ready for climate change</li>\r\n 	<li>We want to save water by reducing leaks by 20% over the next five years</li>\r\n 	<li>We want to involve you in saving water with water meters, water-saving products and community campaigns</li>\r\n 	<li>We have an ambitious target of reducing our domestic use to 100 litres per day by 2040.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<div style="background-color: #0079c2;
