Alongside this, it's investing heavily to minimise the risk of flooding, and reduce storm overflow releases.
Southern Water understand that storm overflow releases have long been a source of public concern. Its £1.5 billion Clean Rivers and Seas plan aims to address the root cause of storm overflows, and it's working towards reducing storm overflow releases by around 8,000 a year by 2035.
On the Isle of Wight, it's already invested £8 million to do this. AI equipment has been installed to manage excess rainwater, upgrade pumping stations and instal sustainable drainage systems to ease the pressure on the sewer network.
In Hampshire, over £850 million has been committed to protect the counties water sources, including rare and biodiverse chalk streams, the River Test and River Itchen. To achieve this, Southern Water is building a new 17km water pipeline between Otterbourne and Southampton, and funding a new reservoir at Havant Thicket, both of which will mean less water will be taken from the local environment, leaving more for nature to flourish.
And over in Portsmouth, Southern Water is installing sustainable drainage systems in schools, such as rain gardens and planters, further helping reduce storm overflow releases and flooding. It's also continuing to make sure you have a reliable supply of high-quality drinking water, investing £160 million to upgrade Testwood Water Supply Works.
Returning to the Isle of Wight, you can expect to see Southern Water invest more than £99 million to improve bathing water quality, prevent flooding and build new water supplies including a water recycling plant in Sandown. In addition, to make sure it continues to provide you with a reliable water supply, £2 million is being invested at Calbourne Water Supply Works and to replacing over 13km of aging water pipes.
This record-breaking investment represents a long-term shift towards a more sustainable and resilient water system. Southern Water is delivering this wide variety of projects to protect rivers, coastlines and communities, while making sure we all have a reliable supply of drinking water for years to come.
