The mains to be renewed have been selected using a risk based approach, including a new innovative critical links analysis model, this has highlighted the sections of mains which are most likely to burst and, if they did burst, have the highest impact on customers. The proactive renewing of these sections of main is aimed at reducing bursts and the impact of bursts to our customers over both the short and long term.\r\n\r\nThe long term benefit of mains renewals is sometimes less obvious to our customers who on occasions suffer the short term inconvenience of our construction activities.  In response to this the Company is increasing the length of mains replaced using ‘no-dig’ technology which will increase form 23% in 2010-15 to &gt;65% in 2015-20.  The process minimises the amount of excavation and thereby disruption to customers and road users.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/news/current-projects/water-mains-renewal-schemes/">Click here for details</a> about the mains renewal process and also an update on where work is currently in progress.\r\n<h2>Serving New Developments</h2>\r\nWe have a statutory duty to connect new households to our water mains network.

By turning itself blue the Spinnaker Tower will help raise awareness of the fact that on this planet we still have the unacceptable situation where one in ten people lack access to clean, safe water. This lack of access means that around 315,000 children die each year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That’s almost 900 children each day, or one child every two minutes.\r\n\r\nWorld Water Day, on 22 March every year, is about taking action to tackle the water crisis. The day was established in 1993 by the United Nations General Assembly and is today coordinated by UN-Water in collaboration with governments and partners. Portsmouth Water and Southern Water have supported the charity WaterAid since 1981 and will be joining the charity on its #blue4water campaign on World Water Day to raise awareness of the 1 in 10 people still living without clean water.

By turning itself blue the Spinnaker Tower will help raise awareness of the fact that on this planet we still have the unacceptable situation where one in ten people lack access to clean, safe water. This lack of access means that around 315,000 children die each year from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water and poor sanitation. That’s almost 900 children each day, or one child every two minutes.\r\n\r\nWorld Water Day, on 22 March every year, is about taking action to tackle the water crisis. The day was established in 1993 by the United Nations General Assembly and is today coordinated by UN-Water in collaboration with governments and partners. Portsmouth Water and Southern Water have supported the charity WaterAid since 1981 and will be joining the charity on its #blue4water campaign on World Water Day to raise awareness of the 1 in 10 people still living without clean water.

In the last five years we worked to achieve these aims and now embark upon the next five years.  In the past year we have with the help of our staff improved the condition of many assets securing safe supplies whilst minimising the impact on the environment.\r\n\r\nThe key elements of our current maintenance programme are set out on the following pages.\r\n<h2>Water Mains Renewal Schemes</h2>\r\nOur underground pipe network is around 3,270km long, during the past ten years we have worked hard to reduce the impact of bursts upon our customers by targeting mains for renewal. This work has reduced the average number of bursts per year on our network from over 500/year pre 2005 to below 300/year, a reduction of over 40%.   In 2015 we completely reviewed how we target and carry out mains renewal activities, this has led to a new approach to this work and seen the establishment of a new collaborative contract with Cappagh, a company which brings a wealth of experienced and innovative thinking with them.\r\n\r\nWe will be renewing 24km of mains and associated service pipes in 2017/18, and for the following 3 years, and aim to replace the majority of these mains utilising ‘no dig’ techniques so minimising disruption to customers wherever possible. The mains to be renewed have been selected using a risk based approach, including a new innovative critical links analysis model, this has highlighted the sections of mains which are most likely to burst and, if they did burst, have the highest impact on customers. The proactive renewing of these sections of main is aimed at reducing bursts and the impact of bursts to our customers over both the short and long term.\r\n\r\nThe long term benefit of mains renewals is sometimes less obvious to our customers who on occasions suffer the short term inconvenience of our construction activities.  In response to this the Company is increasing the length of mains replaced using ‘no-dig’ technology which will increase form 23% in 2010-15 to &gt;65% in 2015-20.  The process minimises the amount of excavation and thereby disruption to customers and road users.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/news/current-projects/water-mains-renewal-schemes/">Click here for details</a> about the mains renewal process and also an update on where work is currently in progress.\r\n<h2>Serving New Developments</h2>\r\nWe have a statutory duty to connect new households to our water mains network. At the request of developers we lay new water mains to new housing and commercial developments. Click here for more details.\r\n<h2>Water Treatment and Pumping Station Improvements</h2>\r\nDuring the past year the Company continued a programme of maintaining critical assets replacing operational elements of plant in order to maintain stable service to our customers.  Interruptions to customers’ supplies from plant outages are one of the lowest in the industry and reflects our ongoing commitment to asset maintenance.  Over the next three years we will be spending approximately £10 million on maintaining water treatment works, pumping stations and associated processes.\r\n\r\nDuring 2016/17 we have focussed work at our Farlington WTW site where we replaced an existing membrane filtration plant with an Ultra Violet treatment plant, the same process implemented at our Eastergate &amp; Westergate works in 2016. This scheme has improved the long term effectiveness and efficiency of the works, as well as reducing the amount of wastewater discharged from the works. The scheme is progressing as scheduled and is due for completion in July 2017.\r\n\r\nAdvanced Ultra Violet (UV) treatment is a highly effective treatment process which neutralises 99.99% of micro-organisms in the water without the need to add chemicals.\r\n\r\nThe focus in the first 2 years of the AMP has been on implementing large projects, such as the UV treatment plants at our Eastergate, Westergate and Farlington WTW’s. The last 3 years of the AMP, 2017-2020, is focusing more on delivering smaller works at our other water treatment work sites, a new collaborative contract has been established to deliver this work with 3 companies, Enisca, Bridges and Cappagh. The contract is targeted at delivering work in the most efficient and effective way ensuring that best practice and innovation is applied throughout.', 'Current Projects', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2303-revision-v1', '', '', '2017-06-16 10:56:46', '2017-06-16 09:56:46', '', 2303, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2017/06/16/2303-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

no guarantee is given as to its accuracy.\r\n<h2>Rainfall</h2>\r\nAnnual total rainfall was 596mm compared to the 30 year long-term average of 782mm.  October, November and December were 37% of the long term average and impacted on groundwater recharge.  A significantly dry July was experienced with 10mm of rain compared with a long-term average of 50mm, or 20% of the long term average.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/annhav1617.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5957" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/annhav1617.png" alt="" width="1468" height="808" /></a>\r\n<h2>Groundwater Levels</h2>\r\nThe Company has monitored the groundwater level at Idsworth Well, Rowlands Castle, for many years since the well is unaffected by abstraction and is representative of groundwater conditions in the South Downs chalk.  Around 85% of Portsmouth Water’s abstractions are from underground sources and so groundwater levels are critical to maintaining supplies.\r\n\r\nGroundwater in the local aquifer normally fluctuates approximately 9.5m between maximum and minimum annual levels.  Groundwater levels in the Spring of 2016 were approximately 3m above the long-term average.  During the year groundwater levels remained within the “normal” range.  Groundwater levels normally start to recover in October as Autumnal rainfall leads to recharge.  The significantly low rainfall of October, less than average in November and well below average in December saw the three month rainfall of 37% of the 30 year average.  Groundwater levels did not start to recover until February when rainfall approached normal levels.  At the end of March levels were approximately 2m below the 30 year long-term average and recovered to a satisfactory ‘normal’ level.\r\n\r\nThe graph below shows the change in groundwater level over the last twenty-four months compared to the Long Term Average (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/annids1617.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5958" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/annids1617.png" alt="" width="1443" height="939" /></a>\r\n<h2>Abstraction</h2>\r\nAbstraction from the Company’s various sources in 2016/17 was as shown in the table below:\r\n<table width="503">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="159">Source</td>\r\n<td colspan="4" width="344">Annual Abstraction - Ml/Yr</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="83">Source Licence</td>\r\n<td width="96">Source Actual 2016/17</td>\r\n<td width="83">Group Licence</td>\r\n<td width="83">Group Actual 2016/17</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Northbrook</td>\r\n<td width="83">7,487</td>\r\n<td width="96">6,568</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="83">7,487</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="83">6,568</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Lower Upham</td>\r\n<td width="83">640</td>\r\n<td width="96">0</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">West Street</td>\r\n<td width="83">3,328</td>\r\n<td width="96">3</td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">West Meon</td>\r\n<td width="83">166</td>\r\n<td width="96">27</td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">River Itchen</td>\r\n<td width="83">15,916</td>\r\n<td width="96">7,745</td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Maindell</td>\r\n<td width="83">2,040</td>\r\n<td width="96">566</td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Soberton</td>\r\n<td width="83">3,294</td>\r\n<td width="96">2,406</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="83">3,294</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="83">2,408</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Newtown</td>\r\n<td width="83">695</td>\r\n<td width="96">2</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Worlds End</td>\r\n<td width="83">8,296</td>\r\n<td width="96">3,854</td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Lovedean</td>\r\n<td width="83">4,148</td>\r\n<td width="96">1,407</td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n<td width="83"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="159">Havant &amp;

To view information on \'Changing to a Water Meter\' click here\r\nCompulsory Metering\r\n\r\nSome types of apparatus use large quantities of water, for example a sprinkler can use as much water in one hour as a family of four uses for domestic purposes in two days. There is concern about how much water is taken from underground sources and rivers, and compulsory meters can help us to preserve the balance between the growing demand for water and the environment.\r\n\r\nWe view the efficient use of water as a partnership between ourselves and our customers and so we have decided upon a policy of metering in the following circumstances.\r\n\r\nWhere garden watering is undertaken other than by hand.\r\nWhere the property has an automatically replenished swimming pool.\r\nFor a double bath - that is a bath with a capacity of over 230 litres/50 gallons.\r\nWhere a Reverse Osmosis type water softener system is fitted.\r\nFor a power shower (Pumped and Multihead variety).\r\n\r\nMeters are installed free for domestic customers, subject to a satisfactory survey.
