There was a strong recovery in groundwater levels after this due to a wet winter.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ids.png"><img class="wp-image-7164 size-full aligncenter" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/ids.png" alt="" width="860" height="580" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Abstraction"]\r\n\r\nAnnual abstraction is drawn from three types of source: the River Itchen Works which treats surface water, boreholes and wells which abstract groundwater from the underground chalk, and Farlington Water Treatment Works which treats spring water from Havant and Bedhampton.\r\n\r\nAbstraction from the Company’s sources in 2017/18 was as shown in the table below:\r\n<table width="531">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="168">Source</td>\r\n<td colspan="4" width="364">Annual Abstraction - Ml/Yr</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="87">Source Licence</td>\r\n<td width="101">Source Actual 2017/18</td>\r\n<td width="87">Group Licence</td>\r\n<td width="88">Group Actual 2016/17</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Northbrook</td>\r\n<td width="87">7,487</td>\r\n<td width="101">5,757</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="87">7,487</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="88">5,757</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Lower Upham</td>\r\n<td width="87">640</td>\r\n<td width="101">0</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">West Street</td>\r\n<td width="87">3,328</td>\r\n<td width="101">1487</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">West Meon</td>\r\n<td width="87">166</td>\r\n<td width="101">15</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">River Itchen</td>\r\n<td width="87">15,916</td>\r\n<td width="101">8,455</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Maindell</td>\r\n<td width="87">2,040</td>\r\n<td width="101">56</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Soberton</td>\r\n<td width="87">3,294</td>\r\n<td width="101">1,741</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="87">3,294</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="88">1,742</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Newtown</td>\r\n<td width="87">695</td>\r\n<td width="101">1</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Worlds End</td>\r\n<td width="87">8,296</td>\r\n<td width="101">3,463</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Lovedean</td>\r\n<td width="87">4,148</td>\r\n<td width="101">2,179</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Havant &amp; Bedhampton</td>\r\n<td width="87">35,770</td>\r\n<td width="101">18,588</td>\r\n<td width="87"></td>\r\n<td width="88"></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Walderton</td>\r\n<td width="87">9,955</td>\r\n<td width="101">7,247</td>\r\n<td rowspan="6" width="87">23,740</td>\r\n<td rowspan="6" width="88">17,169</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Woodmancote</td>\r\n<td width="87">1,103</td>\r\n<td width="101">371</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Fishbourne</td>\r\n<td width="87">3,741</td>\r\n<td width="101">1,919</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Funtington</td>\r\n<td width="87">2,920</td>\r\n<td width="101">1,642</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Lavant</td>\r\n<td rowspan="2" width="87">9,950</td>\r\n<td width="101">4,415</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Brickkiln</td>\r\n<td>1,575</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Eastergate</td>\r\n<td rowspan="4" width="87">&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n10358*\r\n\r\n&nbsp;</td>\r\n<td width="101">2,137</td>\r\n<td rowspan="4" width="87">10,358</td>\r\n<td rowspan="4" width="88">6,813</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Westergate</td>\r\n<td width="101">2,072</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Slindon</td>\r\n<td width="101">618</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Aldingbourne</td>\r\n<td width="101">1,986</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width="168">Total</td>\r\n<td width="87">116,066</td>\r\n<td width="101">65,724</td>\r\n<td width="87">44,879</td>\r\n<td width="88">31,481</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Treated Water Distributed"]\r\n\r\nThe dry weather in May produced an early peak in demand but the wet July suppressed the summer peak. There was an unusual peak in March due to the cold weather and a large number of burst mains. The situation was brought under control quickly and overall demand for the year was higher than normal but not unusual with an average demand of 174.4 Ml/d.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/distin.png"><img class="alignleft wp-image-7165 size-full" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/distin.png" alt="" width="892" height="580" /></a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[accordion_item title="Leakage"]\r\n\r\nFor the year 2017/18 average leakage is calculated (post Maximum Likelihood Estimate (MLE)) at 32.9 Ml/d. This is a failure against the target of 29.9 Ml/d. The graph below shows the long term trend in leakage performance.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/leaks.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-7166 size-full" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/leaks.png" alt="" width="611" height="368" /></a>\r\n\r\nLeakage was significantly impacted by weather events throughout the year resulting in a higher overall leakage compared to the previous year. Leakage began the year above target at 30.9 Ml/d as the company was still recovering from high winter leakage. We then experienced an increase in late April and early May due to ground movement associated with a reduction in soil moisture content. Leakage was reduced by the end of May.\r\n\r\nLeakage rose again over the summer period and remained steady during the autumn despite efforts in leak detection and repair. We then experienced four separate Winter Events, compared to an average of two which are typically caused by an extended period of cold weather and/or a quick thaw. In particular the ‘Beast from the East’ had a significant impact. Leakage rose by 7.05 Ml/d after the thaw, with bursts roughly 3 times higher than the average for March.\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 2017/18 was 347, compared to 298 that occurred in 2016/17 and our annual target of 342.  It equates to 104 bursts per 1,000km in the reporting year.\r\n\r\nAlmost 20% of the bursts experienced in the year occurred in March 2018, when the Beast from the East resulted in rapid temperature changes. This measure is very dependent on weather conditions.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/burst.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-7167 size-full" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/burst.png" alt="" width="628" height="313" /></a>\r\n\r\n[/accordion_item]\r\n\r\n[/accordion]\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/WRMP-Annual-Review-June-2018.pdf">To view a copy of the Annual Review for 2018, please click here</a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Annual Water Supply Review', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2333-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-07-05 09:36:53', '2018-07-05 08:36:53', '', 2333, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2018/07/05/2333-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

There is no reason why everyone cannot still have a lovely garden this summer as well as being part of our saving water challenge.”\r\n\r\nTo help get started on the Saving Water Challenge, customers are encouraged to visit our website and order a free water saving pack. The pack include a save a flush bag, shower timer, a shower and tap restrictor as well as leaflets containing useful water saving advice. There is also an interactive calculator that will help customers work out how much water they use and the areas in which they can look to use less water.\r\nThe guide ‘be water wise in the garden’ and the free water saving pack can be found on our website at <a href="/">www.portsmouthwater.co.uk</a> by clicking on the saving water challenge button.', 'I LIKE MY DRINKS EARLY IN THE MORNING …….', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '7252-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-07-27 12:59:24', '2018-07-27 11:59:24', '', 7252, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2018/07/27/7252-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

These spillages can be caused by old and faulty tanks, actual/attempted theft, and poor condition or location of tank pipework.\r\n\r\nThe water used for public water supply within the Portsmouth Water area is all sourced from the Chalk aquifers that are found in this area, via boreholes, springs and the groundwater-fed River Itchen.\r\n\r\nIf groundwater becomes polluted it is extremely difficult, and sometimes impossible, to clean it up to its original quality. In the extreme it can lead to Portsmouth Water shutting down sources used for public water supply. There are also environmental risks concerning damage to the many protected areas, such as the South Downs National Park and the Chichester and Langstone Harbours.\r\n\r\nIn response to this ongoing risk, Portsmouth Water has been running an awareness campaign for the past 3 years. Despite this, within weeks of last year’s awareness campaign, Portsmouth Water again experienced a significant oil spill related to the storage of domestic heating oil at a property in very close proximity to a crucial public water supply well. The pipework associated with the storage tank had corroded and subsequently ruptured from an increase in pressure, following the tank being refilled for the winter season. This resulted in nearly 2000 litres of kerosene being released to ground and, consequently, an important drinking water source being put out of operation for 12 months.\r\n\r\nIn addition, the land owner has had to experience significant excavation and ground investigations at their property for many months to remedy the spillage. Fortunately, the homeowner’s insurance covered this work, as the final sum for this work has been significant.\r\n\r\nRod Porteous, Engineering Director at Portsmouth Water, said “We kindly ask our customers that if they store and use heating oil on their property, that they remain vigilant with regards to their heating oil storage tanks and associated pipework. As some accidents can occur despite preventative measures being taken, we also urge that they check with their insurance companies that they are covered with regards to losses of heating oil, as some remedial costs could potentially reach into the hundreds of thousands of pounds.”\r\n\r\nTo view the awareness campaign leaflet or for advice on what to do in the event of an oil spillage at your property please visit our website and click on the Water Quality heading for further information.\r\n\r\nTo download the full press release please <a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/PRESS-RELEASE-Oil-Awareness.pdf">click here</a>\r\n\r\nFor editorial enquiries please contact:\r\nJames Bucknall, Drinking Water Safety Plan Scientist, Portsmouth Water\r\nTel: 02392-249 285, Email: <a href="mailto:j.bucknall@portmsouthwater.co.uk">j.bucknall@portmsouthwater.co.uk</a>', 'Advice on Oil Storage Tanks', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3744-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-08-22 10:31:48', '2018-08-22 09:31:48', '', 3744, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2018/08/22/3744-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Bob was the Managing Director of Bournemouth Water, prior to its acquisition by South West Water in 2015.\n\nNeville Smith, Portsmouth Water’s Managing Director, will retire on 4th January 2019 after over 20 years of service with the Company, the last 7 as Managing Director. Under Neville’s leadership, Portsmouth Water has become one of the UK’s leading regulated water companies, delivering the highest levels of customer service and the lowest customer bills in the UK.\n\nBob will work with Helen Orton, Director of Finance and Regulation, and the senior management team to ensure that the Company continues to deliver a strong performance against its AMP6 outcomes, whilst refining its approach to delivering the stretching targets included within the recently submitted Business Plan for AMP7. This includes the initial work on the Havant Thicket Winter Storage Reservoir (“HTWSR”), which is a leading example of collaboration within the water sector in the South East of England. It will deliver much needed new resources for our neighbour, Southern Water, whilst protecting sensitive river abstractions and enabling improvements to both companies’ resilience.\n\n<strong>Commenting on the announcement:</strong>\n\n<strong>Mike Kirk, Chairman, Portsmouth Water; said:</strong>\n\nWe are delighted that we have been able to appoint Bob, who brings with him a wealth of experience in the water sector, both in the UK and internationally, stretching back over 35 years. This role brings Bob back to his roots in a Water Only Company, which is where he started his career and this experience will ensure that Portsmouth Water is able to continue to lead the industry. I and the rest of the Board are looking forward to working with Bob in his new role.\n\nNeville retires after working with Portsmouth Water for over 20 years, initially as Financial Director and then as Managing Director for the past 7 years. I have worked with Neville for over 6 years, the last four as Chairman, and he has played a major role in defining the strong public service culture within Portsmouth Water and ensuring that we are a leading performer in the industry. Neville’s absolute integrity has helped to instill a culture of “doing the right thing” within the Company and we will ensure that this continues to act as the framework for all that we do in the business. I and the whole Board would like to thank Neville for his service and wish him a long and happy retirement.\n\n<strong>Bob Taylor, CEO Elect, Portsmouth Water, said:</strong>\n\nI am eager and excited to be able to lead Portsmouth Water at a critical time in its development. Not only are we preparing for the most significant investment in the Company’s history – the Havant Thicket Winter Storage Reservoir, which is an integral part of our PR 19 Business Plan, but we are also refining our plans for the delivery of all other aspects of the Business Plan with the aim of further improving our performance and delivering the highest levels of service to our customers.\n\n<strong>Neville Smith, Managing Director, Portsmouth Water, said:</strong>\n\nIt has been a privilege to work for Portsmouth Water and to have played a part in making Portsmouth Water the business that it is today, proving that a small company can be a leading performer in the industry. I am confident that under Bob’s leadership, Portsmouth Water will continue to thrive and respond positively to the challenges of delivering our ambitious plans for PR 19 in a cost effective and innovative manner for the benefit of our customers, our employees and our shareholders.\n\nFor more information please contact Ian Limb', 'PORTSMOUTH WATER APPOINTS BOB TAYLOR AS CEO', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '7690-autosave-v1', '', '', '2018-11-26 08:56:52', '2018-11-26 08:56:52', '', 7690, 'https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/2018/11/26/7690-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

It will allow birds and mammals such as dormice and bats, to move around and feed more easily in the area.\r\n\r\nThe Havant Thicket site is owned by Portsmouth Water and is currently made up of grazed grassland, with small areas of trees. It’s bordered by woodland to the north owned by the Forestry Commission and Staunton Country Park to the south, owned by Hampshire County Council. It is open to the public to walk in, watch birds and explore, via a network of paths.\r\n\r\nThe company has included a proposal to build a reservoir on the site in its future plans to increase the resilience of water supplies in the water-stressed South East and provide new wetland wildlife habitats and community, leisure facilities. Simon Hughes, of Portsmouth Water, said: “We’re really excited to be carrying out this extensive planting on our land to create a vital new corridor of trees and hedgerows. This will help to support wildlife on the site and make a connection between blocks of\r\nwoodland habitat that are important for many different species, both as the site is now and when the reservoir is developed. “We’ll be engaging local schoolchildren, our employees and local conservation volunteers in the future planting as we create new habitats for wildlife.”\r\n\r\nThe planting project is supported by Natural England, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, Havant Borough Council and East Hampshire District Council. By planting now, the woodland has time to become established and provide habitats long before any steps are taken to progress the reservoir. It is being carried out on the eastern side of the Havant Thicket site, near Rowlands Castle. It will include the creation of wood pasture with small clumps of trees, hedgerow and scrub strips, and a new 50-metre wide woodland corridor.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Havant-Thicket-Planting-Jan-2019.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-7880 size-full" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Havant-Thicket-Planting-Jan-2019.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="684" /></a>\r\n\r\nIt will be protected by mesh fencing, which will be erected from January 21.

It will allow birds and mammals such as dormice and bats, to move around and feed more easily in the area.\r\n\r\nThe Havant Thicket site is owned by Portsmouth Water and is currently made up of grazed grassland, with small areas of trees. It’s bordered by woodland to the north owned by the Forestry Commission and Staunton Country Park to the south, owned by Hampshire County Council. It is open to the public to walk in, watch birds and explore, via a network of paths.\r\n\r\nThe company has included a proposal to build a reservoir on the site in its future plans to increase the resilience of water supplies in the water-stressed South East and provide new wetland wildlife habitats and community, leisure facilities. Simon Hughes, of Portsmouth Water, said: “We’re really excited to be carrying out this extensive planting on our land to create a vital new corridor of trees and hedgerows. This will help to support wildlife on the site and make a connection between blocks of\r\nwoodland habitat that are important for many different species, both as the site is now and when the reservoir is developed. “We’ll be engaging local schoolchildren, our employees and local conservation volunteers in the future planting as we create new habitats for wildlife.”\r\n\r\nThe planting project is supported by Natural England, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, Havant Borough Council and East Hampshire District Council. By planting now, the woodland has time to become established and provide habitats long before any steps are taken to progress the reservoir. It is being carried out on the eastern side of the Havant Thicket site, near Rowlands Castle. It will include the creation of wood pasture with small clumps of trees, hedgerow and scrub strips, and a new 50-metre wide woodland corridor.\r\n\r\n<a href="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Havant-Thicket-Planting-Jan-2019.jpg"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-7880 size-full" src="https://www.portsmouthwater.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Havant-Thicket-Planting-Jan-2019.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="684" /></a>\r\n\r\nIt will be protected by mesh fencing, which will be erected from January 21. The planting is due to complete in early March.
