This is within the leakage target agreed with Ofwat but further work is being undertaken to ensure we continue to improve our data.\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Burst Mains"]\r\n\r\nThe number of burst mains experienced in 2014/15 was 294, compared to 226 that occurred in 2013/14.  The majority of the bursts occurred on 3”-6” cast iron mains and were generally associated with the swelling and shrinking of clay due to changes in soil moisture and temperature.  The number of bursts normally increases during the winter which was the case in the last year compared to the lower numbers experienced in the winter of 2013/14.\r\n\r\nWe continue to target mains for renewal based on the impact of bursts on customers.  The graph below indicates the overall reduction of bursts as a result of the renewals programme.  However, severe weather often demonstrates the importance of maintaining mains renewals at an appropriate rate.\r\n\r\n<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3294" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/burst-mains.png" alt="burst-mains" width="754" height="411" />\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[/accordion]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Annual Water Supply Review 2015', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4638-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-08-19 08:34:56', '2016-08-19 07:34:56', '', 4638, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2016/08/19/4638-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

The high rain fall of January has seen groundwater levels rise approximately 6m above the long term average and therefore considered to be ‘high’ in comparison to the average levels.

Rainfall this autumn has been below average due to very low levels experienced in October, 7.6mm compared with a long term average of 100mm.  Rainfall in November was below the long term average and this combination has resulted in a delay in the recovery of levels normally seen at this time of year.  At the end of November levels were approximately 3.0m below the long term average.\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/2016/12/idsworthnov16.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-5038" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/idsworthnov16-1024x665.png" alt="idsworthnov16" width="1024" height="665" /></a>', 'Water Supply News - November 2016', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5035-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-12-14 10:53:34', '2016-12-14 10:53:34', '', 5035, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2016/12/14/5035-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

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 2016/17, 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 five years we will be spending approximately £20 million on maintaining water treatment works, pumping stations and associated processes.\r\n\r\nDuring 2016 we have completed work on two significant schemes to safeguard water quality at our Eastergate and Westergate water treatment work sites. In recent years we have seen a deterioration in the quality of water that we extract from the aquifers at these sites.

Unfortunately the majority of our mains are located in highways and our renewal activities inevitably cause disruption to local communities whilst we are working. We do try to mitigate disruption wherever possible and we always liaise closely with the relevant authorities when planning and carrying out work in the highway.\r\n\r\nIn this instance we applied to Hampshire Highways to work on Langstone Road from the 30<sup>th</sup> January to 10<sup>th</sup> February 2017, with a specific exclusion between the hours of 06:30 - 09:30 and 16:00 - 18:30, due to it being a traffic sensitive road, as specified by Hampshire Highways. Hampshire Highways have responsibility for approving all works on the highway and our application was approved by them to carry out the works outside of the times shown above.\r\n\r\nIn accordance with our application we commenced work on the road at 9:30am yesterday. It became clear that significant disruption was being caused to road users and at 10:30am works were stopped.  Unfortunately the work required to return the highway to an appropriate and safe standard takes time which meant it was not possible to remove the traffic management equipment immediately. The highway was returned to a usable condition at 2:15pm at which point all traffic management equipment was removed and the highway returned to full operation.\r\n\r\nIt is clear now that overnight working should have been considered, to reduce the disruption to the Hayling Island residents and business owners.

Unfortunately the majority of our mains are located in highways and our renewal activities inevitably cause disruption to local communities whilst we are working. We do try to mitigate disruption wherever possible and we always liaise closely with the relevant authorities when planning and carrying out work in the highway.\r\n\r\nIn this instance we applied to Hampshire Highways to work on Langstone Road from the 30<sup>th</sup> January to 10<sup>th</sup> February 2017, with a specific exclusion between the hours of 06:30 - 09:30 and 16:00 - 18:30, due to it being a traffic sensitive road, as specified by Hampshire Highways. Hampshire Highways have responsibility for approving all works on the highway and our application was approved by them to carry out the works outside of the times shown above.\r\n\r\nIn accordance with our application we commenced work on the road at 9:30am yesterday. It became clear that significant disruption was being caused to road users and at 10:30am works were stopped.  Unfortunately the work required to return the highway to an appropriate and safe standard takes time which meant it was not possible to remove the traffic management equipment immediately. The highway was returned to a usable condition at 2:15pm at which point all traffic management equipment was removed and the highway returned to full operation.\r\n\r\nIt is clear now that overnight working should have been considered, to reduce the disruption to the Hayling Island residents and business owners.

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. Turning the Spinnaker Tower blue is one of many activities happening all over the world to shine a light on the global water crisis.\r\n\r\n<strong>Jamie Jones, Portsmouth Water’s spokesperson, said:</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>“I am delighted that such an iconic feature in our area has agreed to help raise </em><em>awareness of World Water Day by turning itself blue. It’s unacceptable that, in this day </em><em>and age, a child dies every two minutes from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water </em><em>and poor sanitation. World Water Day helps spread the message that we all have a </em><em>part to play in helping to end the global water and sanitation crisis, while also raising </em><em>valuable funds for WaterAid’s vital work in some of the world’s poorest countries.

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. Turning the Spinnaker Tower blue is one of many activities happening all over the world to shine a light on the global water crisis.\r\n\r\n<strong>Jamie Jones, Portsmouth Water’s spokesperson, said:</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>“I am delighted that such an iconic feature in our area has agreed to help raise </em><em>awareness of World Water Day by turning itself blue. It’s unacceptable that, in this day </em><em>and age, a child dies every two minutes from diarrhoeal diseases caused by dirty water </em><em>and poor sanitation. World Water Day helps spread the message that we all have a </em><em>part to play in helping to end the global water and sanitation crisis, while also raising </em><em>valuable funds for WaterAid’s vital work in some of the world’s poorest countries. Just </em><em>£15 can help provide one person with access to safe water.”</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Clare Devine, Southern Water spokesman, said:</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>“Southern Water is a proud supporter of World Water Day, and WaterAid’s valuable </em><em>work raising funds for some of the world’s poorest communities.
