Hampshire, Treat And Supply Of Water
What is happening?
The Project will transform how we source, treat and supply water across Hampshire. In the face of increasing environmental restrictions, population growth and climate change, the Project will help maintain essential water supplies for customers while taking less water from the environment, protecting the rare and sensitive chalk streams of the River Test and River Itchen. The Project would use advanced treatment techniques to turn highly treated wastewater, that is usually pumped far out to sea, into purified recycled water at a new water recycling plant in Havant. This purified recycled water would be pumped via an underground pipeline to the
The Project will transform how we source, treat and supply water across Hampshire. In the face of increasing environmental restrictions, population growth and climate change, the Project will help maintain essential water supplies for customers while taking less water from the environment, protecting the rare and sensitive chalk streams of the River Test and River Itchen. The Project would use advanced treatment techniques to turn highly treated wastewater, that is usually pumped far out to sea, into purified recycled water at a new water recycling plant in Havant. This purified recycled water would be pumped via an underground pipeline to the Havant Thicket Reservoir where it would mix with spring water. Water from the reservoir would then be pumped along another pipeline to our Otterbourne Water Supply Works where it would be treated to strict drinking water standards before being sent into supply.
The Project includes:
- Proposed water recycling plant and associated pumping stations
- Proposed underground pipelines between Budds Farm Wastewater Treatment Works and the Water Recycling Plant
- Proposed underground pipeline between the water recycling plant and Havant Thicket Reservoir
- Proposed underground pipeline between Havant Thicket Reservoir and Otterbourne Water Supply Works, via a pumping station at the water recycling plant
- Proposed pipelines between the water recycling plant and Bedhampton Springs
- Proposed above ground plant comprising intermediate pumping stations and break pressure tanks located along the underground pipeline between the water recycling plant and Otterbourne
- Use of the Havant Thicket Reservoir for the storage of recycled water
- Use of the existing Eastney Long Sea Outfall for the release of reject water
- Other associated and ancillary development.
In addition, any necessary rights and powers will be sought to ensure delivery of the Project, including compulsory acquisition.
Southern Water are proposing to submit an application to the Secretary of State under section 37 of The Planning Act 2008 for a Development Consent Order to authorise the Project.
The SoCC sets out how Southern Water will consult on the Project and how to get involved.
This notice contains a summary of the consultation details. Full details of the consultation can be found in the SoCC.

You can also view the SoCC and the other consultation materials at our consultation events, where you can speak with members of the Project Team and share your views. Events will be held at the venues listed below during the consultation period.
The Project is an Environmental Impact Assessment development, which means a Preliminary Environmental Information Report has been produced and is being consulted on alongside the other consultation documents. An environmental statement, which will outline the likely significant environmental effects of the Project, will be produced and submitted with the Development Consent Order application in due course.
