Hampshire

Our £858 million investment in Hampshire will secure reliable water supplies, protect sensitive chalk streams, and improve water quality from source to sea.

Protecting Hampshire’s water for the future

Over the next five years, we’re working hard to improve water quality across Hampshire—from the water we drink to our precious rivers and coastline.

Hampshire’s sensitive chalk streams are under pressure, so we’re acting now to protect them. To do this, we're developing new water sources, including a reservoir at Havant Thicket, a water recycling plant, and new transfer pipelines.

At the same time, we’re upgrading our two largest supply works—Testwood and Otterbourne—to keep your taps flowing reliably, now and in the future.

£208.4m in Portsmouth and Havant

We’re increasing capacity at Budds Farm Wastewater Treatment Works to reduce spills and improve the recycling of byproducts from the treatment process, enhancing local water quality. We’re also replacing two rising mains in Drayton and Fishery Lane, Hayling Island, and refurbishing nearby pumping stations to reduce the likelihood of pollution.

£117.5m in the New Forest

We’ll be investing millions at our Testwood Water Supply Works to partially rebuild the site to improve the reliability of water supplies in the area. We’re investing £23.8m to remove nitrogen from the river outflows at Ashlett Creek, Fawley and Slowhill Copse. We’re also increasing capacity at our Milford Road treatment works, protecting local properties and the environment by reducing spills.

£156.6m in Southampton and the Test Valley

To improve water quality and protect the environment, we’re carrying out groundwater investigations and catchment schemes around our Barton Stacey, Chilbolton, Horsebridge, and Timsbury Water Supply Works. We’re also increasing treatment capacity at our Fullerton and Stockbridge sites to reduce spills in the River Test. Further investment will reduce spills in the Hamble Valley and River Itchen, and remove nitrogen from river outflows across the area.

£117.5m in Winchester and Basingstoke

We’re removing nitrogen and phosphorus from outflows into local rivers at Morestead Road, New Alresford, and Harestock, improving local water quality and improving river ecology. We’re also increasing treatment capacity at Bishops Waltham and carrying out ecological resilience schemes at our Totford Water Supply Works.

£96.9m in Gosport

To reduce the use of emergency storm overflows and improve the health of nearby rivers, we’re upgrading Peel Common Wastewater Treatment Works by increasing capacity, improving flow monitoring, and installing more storm storage. We’re also introducing better UV treatment to enhance the quality of wastewater returning to the environment.

£22m in East and North East Hampshire

We’re reducing storm overflow releases from our Petersfield works, reducing phosphorus pollution and improving river health at Liss. We're also replacing a key rising main at Mill Lane, protecting the environment around the site.

£40.2m in Eastleigh

We’re refurbishing our Chickenhall Wastewater Treatment Works to minimise bursts and failures which could lead to pollutions. We’re also removing nitrogen and phosphorus from river outflows and improving our flow monitoring to reduce the likelihood of emergency storm overflow releases.
