Levels can fluctuate by as much as 20m.\r\n\r\nThe Groundwater level is usually recorded in metres AOD (Above Ordnance Datum), Ordnance Datum principally being equivalent to sea level.\r\n\r\nIn the Spring of 2015 ground water levels were close to the long term average and have fallen as is normal during the Summer. Following the rainfall in October and November ground water levels have started to recover and are now slightly higher (800mm) than the long term average at the end of December. Water levels are anticipated to recover further during the Winter as rainfall continues.\r\n\r\nThe graph below shows the change in groundwater level over the last twelve months compared to the Long Term Average (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3822" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/iwl.jpg" alt="iwl" width="584" height="389" />', 'Water Supply News December 2015', '', 'draft', 'open', 'open', '', 'water-supply-news-december-2015', '', '', '2022-11-03 11:25:56', '2022-11-03 11:25:56', '', 0, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/?p=3819', 274, 'post', '', 0);

It relies almost entirely upon groundwater reserves in the chalk aquifers of the South Downs and abstracts its raw water from wells, boreholes and springs. It has one river abstraction at Gaters Mill on the River Itchen, a chalk river with a groundwater baseflow.\r\n\r\nThose reserves rise and fall with the seasons and so Portsmouth Water pays particular attention to the local hydrogeological data by monitoring rainfall at its Havant Offices, groundwater levels in the chalk at Idsworth on the Hampshire/Sussex border, as well as the total yield from the natural springs at Havant and Bedhampton.\r\n\r\nThese resources are monitored on a daily basis and reported upon on a monthly basis. The information here is therefore at times one month behind the most current situation.\r\n\r\nThe information gathered is reproduced here for information purposes; no guarantee is given as to its accuracy.\r\n<h3><strong>Rainfall at Havant</strong></h3>\r\nThe Rainfall Records at the Company’s Head Office at Havant date back to 1886.\r\n\r\nThe month of December saw approximately 68% of the long term average rainfall for the month.

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<h4>Water Mains Renewal Schemes</h4>\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 title="Water Mains Renewal Schemes" href="/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<h4>Serving New Developments</h4>\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<h4>Water Treatment and Pumping Station Improvements</h4>\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 the year we have commenced 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. This has resulted in both increased levels of turbidity (cloudiness due to fine particulate matter) and Cryptosporidium.  Cryptosporidium can cause sickness if not removed or treated in the water supply.\r\n\r\nThe two schemes are to construct advanced Ultra Violet (UV) treatment plants at both sites.  This highly effective treatment process will kill 99.99% of micro-organisms in the water without the need to add chemicals. This work also includes the installation of a ‘run to waste’ pipeline, which is be used to make the sites more resilient to fluctuating ground water quality conditions and the relocation of the Westergate water treatment works buildings away from the flood plain making the site more resilient to future flooding events.', 'Current Projects', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2303-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-04-15 10:45:21', '2016-04-15 09:45:21', '', 2303, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2016/04/15/2303-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It relies almost entirely upon groundwater reserves in the chalk aquifers of the South Downs and abstracts its raw water from wells, boreholes and springs. It has one river abstraction at Gaters Mill on the River Itchen, a chalk river with a groundwater baseflow.\r\n\r\nThose reserves rise and fall with the seasons and so Portsmouth Water pays particular attention to the local hydrogeological data by monitoring rainfall at its Havant Offices, groundwater levels in the chalk at Idsworth on the Hampshire/Sussex border, as well as the total yield from the natural springs at Havant and Bedhampton.\r\n\r\nThese resources are monitored on a daily basis and reported upon on a monthly basis. The information here is therefore at times one month behind the most current situation.\r\n\r\nThe information gathered is reproduced here for information purposes; no guarantee is given as to its accuracy.\r\n<h2>Rainfall at Havant</h2>\r\nThe Rainfall Records at the Company’s Head Office at Havant date back to 1886.\r\n\r\nThe month of April saw approximately 121% of the long term average rainfall for the month. Rain fell on approximately 63% of the days with the maximum daily rainfall on Sunday 10 April of approximately 15mm.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/dailyhavantapril2016.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4320" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/dailyhavantapril2016-1024x550.png" alt="dailyhavantapril2016" width="1024" height="550" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTotal rainfall for the month was 64mm, higher than the long term average (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/rainhavantapril2016.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4321" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/rainhavantapril2016-1024x587.png" alt="rainhavantapril2016" width="1024" height="587" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Groundwater Levels at Idsworth</h2>\r\nThe Company has groundwater records from the Idsworth Estate Well, north of Rowlands Castle, which date back to 1931. Water levels in the Well, which is entirely unaffected by abstraction, give an accurate indication of the groundwater reserves of the South Downs. In the winter, levels usually rise in response to rainfall, whilst during the summer, levels recede as any summer rainfall either evaporates or is taken up by trees and plants before reaching the aquifer below. Levels can fluctuate by as much as 20m.\r\n\r\nThe Groundwater level is usually recorded in metres AOD (Above Ordnance Datum), Ordnance Datum principally being equivalent to sea level.\r\n\r\nAt the end of December groundwater levels were close to the long term average as a result of average Autumnal rainfall. 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. Levels have now begun to fall as is normal for this time of year and at the end of April, remaining approximately 3m above the long term average.\r\n\r\nThe graph below shows the change in groundwater level over the last twelve months compared to the Long Term Average (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/idsworthapril2016.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4322" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/idsworthapril2016-1024x682.png" alt="idsworthapril2016" width="1024" height="682" /></a>', 'Water Supply News - April 2016', '', 'draft', 'open', 'open', '', 'water-supply-news-april-2016', '', '', '2022-11-03 11:25:55', '2022-11-03 11:25:55', '', 0, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/?p=4319', 262, 'post', '', 0);

It has one river abstraction at Gaters Mill on the River Itchen, a chalk river with a groundwater baseflow.\r\n\r\nThose reserves rise and fall with the seasons and so Portsmouth Water pays particular attention to the local hydrogeological data by monitoring rainfall at its Havant Offices, groundwater levels in the chalk at Idsworth on the Hampshire/Sussex border, as well as the total yield from the natural springs at Havant and Bedhampton.\r\n\r\nThese resources are monitored on a daily basis and reported upon on a monthly basis. The information here is therefore at times one month behind the most current situation.\r\n\r\nThe information gathered is reproduced here for information purposes; no guarantee is given as to its accuracy.\r\n<h2>Rainfall at Havant</h2>\r\nThe Rainfall Records at the Company’s Head Office at Havant date back to 1886.\r\n\r\nThe month of April saw approximately 121% of the long term average rainfall for the month. Rain fell on approximately 63% of the days with the maximum daily rainfall on Sunday 10 April of approximately 15mm.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/dailyhavantapril2016.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4320" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/dailyhavantapril2016-1024x550.png" alt="dailyhavantapril2016" width="1024" height="550" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTotal rainfall for the month was 64mm, higher than the long term average (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/rainhavantapril2016.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4321" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/rainhavantapril2016-1024x587.png" alt="rainhavantapril2016" width="1024" height="587" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Groundwater Levels at Idsworth</h2>\r\nThe Company has groundwater records from the Idsworth Estate Well, north of Rowlands Castle, which date back to 1931. Water levels in the Well, which is entirely unaffected by abstraction, give an accurate indication of the groundwater reserves of the South Downs. In the winter, levels usually rise in response to rainfall, whilst during the summer, levels recede as any summer rainfall either evaporates or is taken up by trees and plants before reaching the aquifer below. Levels can fluctuate by as much as 20m.\r\n\r\nThe Groundwater level is usually recorded in metres AOD (Above Ordnance Datum), Ordnance Datum principally being equivalent to sea level.\r\n\r\nAt the end of December groundwater levels were close to the long term average as a result of average Autumnal rainfall. 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. Levels have now begun to fall as is normal for this time of year and at the end of April, remaining approximately 3m above the long term average.\r\n\r\nThe graph below shows the change in groundwater level over the last twelve months compared to the Long Term Average (last 30 years).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/idsworthapril2016.png"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4322" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/idsworthapril2016-1024x682.png" alt="idsworthapril2016" width="1024" height="682" /></a>', 'Water Supply News - April 2016', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4319-revision-v1', '', '', '2016-05-12 08:49:10', '2016-05-12 07:49:10', '', 4319, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2016/05/12/4319-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);
