Isle of Wight

8.5m litres a day

We’re developing plans for a water recycling scheme in Sandown to secure future water supplies. The project could produce up to 8.5 million litres of water a day during a drought—enough to fill 3.4 Olympic swimming pools daily and meet the needs of 60,000 customers.

£1.9m at Calbourne

To reduce outages and supply interruptions, we’re investing £1.9 million at Calbourne Water Supply Works to increase the site’s resilience to changes in raw water quality. We’re also installing additional treatment to remove harmful bacteria and protect drinking water supplies.

13km replacement mains

We’re replacing over 13km of water mains across the island to future-proof our network and reduce the risk of outages and supply loss.

£71.8m in Sandown

£58m will introduce sustainable drainage systems, increase storage and pumping capacity at Sandown (and Wroxall) to reduce storm overflow releases and improve local water quality. We’re also investing £13.8m at Sandown to improve the treatment of sludge – a byproduct of wastewater treatment. It's a valuable resource for farmers and we use the gases created during the treatment process to generate energy, aiming to generate 25% of our own by 2025.

£8.8m in Wroxall

£8.8m will help us to remove more nitrogen from the site’s outflow into rivers. This is part of our commitment to improving water quality in over 1000km of rivers

£2.42m for the River Eastern Yar

We’ll be contributing £2.42m to the River Eastern Yar catchment scheme to help protect local rivers and improve water quality. This work follows an aerial survey conducted to investigate potential causes of water quality deterioration in the Eastern Yar catchment.

£10.6m for West Isle of Wight

We’re enhancing the power resilience at our Carisbrooke Water Supply Works to reduce the risk of outages. We’re also replacing over 12,000m of mains on the island including Copse Lane in Freshwater and Ningwood Hill in Cranmore.
