The best way to share your views on the water recycling scheme, called the Hampshire Water Transfer and Water Recycling Project, is during Southern Water’s consultation in 2024. We’ll be contacting our customers nearer the time and giving all the details you need to get involved.

Unlike many other construction projects, the water recycling scheme is what’s known as a “development of major significance". This means it will be approved or rejected, in terms of planning, by the Secretary of State, rather than your local council. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a say.

This planning route, known as a Development Consent Order, or DCO, actually puts more emphasis on public consultation than the traditional Town and Country Planning route. It focuses on talking to local communities and councils in the early stages, and giving them the chance to shape the plans. The 2024 consultation by Southern Water will play a big part in this.

If you’re a Portsmouth Water customer with any questions or concerns in the meantime, please do get in touch. Email us at havantthicket@portsmouthwater.co.uk or give us a call on 023 9249 9888.
