<h2>Introduction</h2>
Portsmouth Water owns and operates a wide range of assets and infrastructure in order to abstract, treat and distribute reliable and high-quality water to over 750,000 local residents, businesses and tourists. We require a detailed plan and well managed programme of maintenance and improvements for these assets, to enable us to continue to provide clean drinking water to our customers

Over the past decade, the number of domestic properties we supply has increased by almost 20,000, meanwhile tourism has increased, and there's a need to abstract less from the environment due to the impacts we are seeing from climate change.

Over the next five years, Portsmouth Water has committed to invest £377 million to maintain and improve water supply for our customers. This includes capital expenditure of £X, plus £X on renewing our network of water mains. Portsmouth Water will remain the most efficient water company, delivering the lowest water bills in England and Wales while investing for the future.
