By helping customers use less water we will all help lessen the impact on the environment.\r\n\r\nAn exciting part of our plan is a new major water resource for the South East – a reservoir at Havant Thicket. This reservoir will help us share our other water resources with other water companies and increase the reliability of our customer supplies.\r\n\r\nThe Business Plan is supported by almost 100 appendices, which are referred to in our main document.  If you wish to see any of these, please contact <a href="mailto:s.morley@portsmouthwater.co.uk"

At the end of the January levels were 4.15m above the LTA of 24.59m and are “high” for this time of year being 0.81m above “normal” levels at 28.74m.\r\n\r\nSo long as rainfall continues to remain close to average, we do not see the need for drought control measures, such as temporary use bans, but would encourage all customers to continue to use water wisely.\r\n\r\nThe graph below shows the change in groundwater level over the last twenty four months compared to the LTA (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ids-jan20.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-9477" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/ids-jan20.png" alt="" width="940" height="449" /></a>', 'Water Supply News - January 2020', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '9474-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-02-24 11:07:26', '2020-02-24 11:07:26', '', 9474, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2020/02/24/9474-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

You may have seen our previous assurances that your tap water remains perfectly safe to drink and there is no risk of contracting the virus through it.\r\n\r\nWe know you understand this is a challenging time but we wish to assure you that we have robust business continuity plans in place to keep our services running which have been operating for some time now.\r\n\r\nWe are following government health advice to make sure our customers and our people stay safe, at the same time making sure we continue to deliver our critical services to you. This might mean we need to change the way we do things for a while such as prioritising emergency work in order to focus on ensuring water gets to customer taps 24 hours a day 7 days a week as normal. Due to increased call volumes and transferring as many of our staff as possible to home working answering telephone calls may take a little longer than we would like. So we ask for patience and understanding as we work as best we can in this difficult situation.\r\n\r\nThe health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is really important to us, and we’re asking for your help and support to protect them. If we are due to visit your home for emergency work and you’re unwell or self-isolating for precautionary reasons, please let us know. We are taking ample precautions but if you’re due a visit from one of our teams and would rather postpone, we’ll understand completely and will be happy to rearrange.\r\n\r\nI understand that at this difficult time the last thing people want to be worrying about is how they are going to pay their bills. So please get in touch if you are worried about your water bill at <a href="https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/">https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/</a> or give us a call on 023 92 499888.

You may have seen our previous assurances that your tap water remains perfectly safe to drink and there is no risk of contracting the virus through it.\r\n\r\nWe know you understand this is a challenging time but we wish to assure you that we have robust business continuity plans in place to keep our services running which have been operating for some time now.\r\n\r\nWe are following government health advice to make sure our customers and our people stay safe, at the same time making sure we continue to deliver our critical services to you. This might mean we need to change the way we do things for a while such as prioritising emergency work in order to focus on ensuring water gets to customer taps 24 hours a day 7 days a week as normal. Due to increased call volumes and transferring as many of our staff as possible to home working answering telephone calls may take a little longer than we would like. So we ask for patience and understanding as we work as best we can in this difficult situation.\r\n\r\nThe health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is really important to us, and we’re asking for your help and support to protect them. If we are due to visit your home for emergency work and you’re unwell or self-isolating for precautionary reasons, please let us know. We are taking ample precautions but if you’re due a visit from one of our teams and would rather postpone, we’ll understand completely and will be happy to rearrange.\r\n\r\nI understand that at this difficult time the last thing people want to be worrying about is how they are going to pay their bills. So please get in touch if you are worried about your water bill at <a href="https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/">https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/</a> or give us a call on 023 92 499888. We want to help and we will do everything we can to put your mind at ease.\r\n\r\nIn addition if you have underlying health conditions, poor mobility or other health or vulnerability challenges please sign up for our priority services at <a href="https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/priority-services/">www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/priority-services/</a>. In doing this you can help us make sure we can get water to you as a priority in an emergency.\r\n\r\nOur links to the communities we serve at Portsmouth Water have always been very strong and it fills me with immense pride and admiration to see how our staff are responding to this health emergency by working long hours under abnormal circumstances to ensure we continue to provide the high quality service you expect.

You may have seen our previous assurances that your tap water remains perfectly safe to drink and there is no risk of contracting the virus through it.\r\n\r\nWe know you understand this is a challenging time but we wish to assure you that we have robust business continuity plans in place to keep our services running which have been operating for some time now.\r\n\r\nWe are following government health advice to make sure our customers and our people stay safe, at the same time making sure we continue to deliver our critical services to you. This might mean we need to change the way we do things for a while such as prioritising emergency work in order to focus on ensuring water gets to customer taps 24 hours a day 7 days a week as normal. Due to increased call volumes and transferring as many of our staff as possible to home working answering telephone calls may take a little longer than we would like. So we ask for patience and understanding as we work as best we can in this difficult situation.\r\n\r\nThe health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is really important to us, and we’re asking for your help and support to protect them. If we are due to visit your home for emergency work and you’re unwell or self-isolating for precautionary reasons, please let us know. We are taking ample precautions but if you’re due a visit from one of our teams and would rather postpone, we’ll understand completely and will be happy to rearrange.\r\n\r\nI understand that at this difficult time the last thing people want to be worrying about is how they are going to pay their bills. So please get in touch if you are worried about your water bill at <a href="https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/">https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/</a> or give us a call on 023 92 499888. We want to help and we will do everything we can to put your mind at ease.\r\n\r\nIn addition if you have underlying health conditions, poor mobility or other health or vulnerability challenges please sign up for our priority services at <a href="https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/priority-services/">www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/priority-services/</a>. In doing this you can help us make sure we can get water to you as a priority in an emergency.\r\n\r\nOur links to the communities we serve at Portsmouth Water have always been very strong and it fills me with immense pride and admiration to see how our staff are responding to this health emergency by working long hours under abnormal circumstances to ensure we continue to provide the high quality service you expect. We’ll keep our communication channels updated and will let you know whenever further relevant information or guidance is needed.\r\n\r\nThank you for your understanding and cooperation, by working together in a spirit of kindness and understanding we can all beat this thing.

The scheme is being delivered in collaboration with Southern Water to safeguard future water supplies for the South East, which is seriously water stressed.\r\n\r\nThe project would benefit local communities and wildlife by providing a new community and green leisure space. It would also help protect environmentally sensitive chalk streams in Hampshire - the rivers Test and Itchen - because less water will need to be taken from them to supply drinking water.\r\n\r\nA planning application for the new reservoir is due to be submitted later this year and all the feedback gathered during the consultation will help shape Portsmouth Water’s final proposals.\r\n\r\nBob Taylor, Portsmouth Water’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “We’ve thought carefully about going ahead with the consultation at this time. However, given the pressing need to secure vital water supplies for the South East and to take timely action to protect our precious chalk streams, we felt it was important to do so. In fact, the COVID-19 situation has challenged us to be even more innovative and imaginative in the ways we bring our plans and the consultation alive to people at home, so we can reach as many of you as possible.\r\n\r\n“We’re doing this by using modern technology to create a ‘virtual exhibition’ with videos, web-based comment boards and interactive mock-ups of the reservoir, as well as running live webinars with our project team. With this approach, we hope even more people will get involved and we’re also creating surveys and packs for pupils to reach out to our younger community while they’re studying at home.\r\n\r\n“Our approach is supported by the local planning authorities and we’re also making sure people who are not online can contact us through traditional channels. We’ve produced a printed brochure and have a dedicated phone number to make sure everyone who wants to have a say can be heard. I would really encourage everyone to take part and help us shape this great community and wildlife facility.”\r\n\r\nThe updated proposals for Havant Thicket Reservoir will be live online from 11 May at <a href="http://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/havant-thicket-reservoir">www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/havant-thicket-reservoir</a>. This will include information on the reservoir’s design, a visitor centre, options for an access road and a new pipeline to enable the reservoir to be filled and emptied. Two access roads are being considered for the reservoir now - one from the north off the B2149 and one from the south off Swanmore Road, in Leigh Park. A slightly alternative route for the pipeline is being shared too.\r\n\r\nThere will also be details on Portsmouth Water’s plans to enhance the environment and support wildlife through the scheme.\r\n\r\nA printed version of the brochure and a feedback form will be sent, on request, to anyone who does not have access to the website - please call 02392 449084 and leave a message, or write to Havant Thicket Reservoir consultation, Portsmouth Water, PO Box 99, West Street, Havant, PO9 1LG.\r\n\r\nThe consultation webinars, which people can sign up for via the reservoir webpages, will include video briefings followed by question and answer sessions with the project team.

You may have seen our previous assurances that your tap water remains perfectly safe to drink and there is no risk of contracting the virus through it.\r\n\r\nWe know you understand this is a challenging time but we wish to assure you that we have robust business continuity plans in place to keep our services running which have been operating for some time now.\r\n\r\nWe are following government health advice to make sure our customers and our people stay safe, at the same time making sure we continue to deliver our critical services to you. This might mean we need to change the way we do things for a while such as prioritising emergency work in order to focus on ensuring water gets to customer taps 24 hours a day 7 days a week as normal. Due to increased call volumes and transferring as many of our staff as possible to home working answering telephone calls may take a little longer than we would like. So we ask for patience and understanding as we work as best we can in this difficult situation.\r\n\r\nThe health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is really important to us, and we’re asking for your help and support to protect them. If we are due to visit your home for emergency work and you’re unwell or self-isolating for precautionary reasons, please let us know. We are taking ample precautions but if you’re due a visit from one of our teams and would rather postpone, we’ll understand completely and will be happy to rearrange.\r\n\r\nI understand that at this difficult time the last thing people want to be worrying about is how they are going to pay their bills. So please get in touch if you are worried about your water bill at <a href="https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/">https://portsmouthwater.co.uk/customer-services/problems-paying/</a> or give us a call on 023 92 499888.

We’ve really ramped up our work to prevent leaks in the last year and we’re delighted with this amazing achievement which has put us at the forefront of leakage performance in the industry.”\r\n\r\n“However, every drop does count, which is why we’ll continue to prioritise our leakage work, alongside supporting households to save water and progressing our plans to build Havant Thicket Reservoir.”\r\n\r\n“I would like to thank the public who have helped by being our eyes on the ground during the past year and reported leaks they have spotted while out and about, on our Leakline phone number, 023 9249 9888.”\r\n\r\nThe company has 3,300 kilometres of pipes, which distribute drinking water to more than 300,000 homes in West Sussex and Hampshire each day. Therefore, it is a round-the-clock task to find and repair leaks and bursts on the millions of joints and sections of pipes, which make up this network.\r\n\r\nThis year’s success has been achieved by installing high-tech ‘noise loggers’ on 25% of the underground water pipes and working smarter. The loggers are much more sensitive to noise than the human ear so, at night when it is quieter, they pick up the sound of running water and teams can pinpoint its exact location.\r\n\r\nJim said: “More often than not, we are now finding leaks from our pipes and making a repair before they show on the surface and anyone else is even aware of them.”\r\n\r\nThe official leakage figure for the year is 23.6 million litres of water per day – the lowest Portsmouth Water has ever achieved. Nearly half of this is due to leaks on the private supply pipes which connect to homes and businesses and for which the property owners are responsible.\r\n\r\nJim added: “Our hard work doesn’t stop here. In order to improve on this low level we’ll be installing more noise loggers on our network in the years ahead and have already started exploring exciting new technologies, including sensitive pressure sensors and Artificial Intelligence technology which could help us drive it down even further.
