As an estimated 30 new reservoirs are needed in the UK, the Havant Thicket reservoir will become the first to use recycled water technology and is expected to open in 2029. It will hold about 8.7 billion litres of water and capable of supplying up to 21 million litres each day.

Pic: Portsmouth WaterThe first new large-scale new water storage reservoir to be built in the UK in more than three decades has come a step closer as Portsmouth Water handed a £167m contract to Future Water MJJV Limited to build the Havant Thicket reservoir in southern Hampshire.
It will be one mile from east to west and half a mile from north to south. Future Water MJJV Limited is a joint venture between the civil engineering contractors Mackley and Jones Bros. "We look forward to working closely with both companies to progress and complete this environmentally led project on time and within budget.
Perhaps the bigger issue, though, has been unhappiness that the reservoir will be partly filled with treated wastewater mixed with water from underground springs.
