    Thank you for your interest in the Havant Thicket Reservoir project.

    We can confirm that construction work is not being undertaken seven days a week. 

    Construction work is limited at weekends, with no Sunday working. There is planning permission for limited construction work to take place from 7.30am to 1pm on Saturdays.

    For weekdays, construction work can take place from 7.30am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. No construction work can take place on Bank or Public Holidays. The exception to this is if specific works are agreed with the Local Planning Authority in writing in advance or unless there is an emergency.

    All the best.
