The water supply grid scheme, which will be Wessex Water’s largest and longest ever project, will help manage water more effectively around the region and ensure future demand is met. The multi-million pound project will take eight years to complete and is divided into more than 20 individual schemes.
Work, which will include new trunk mains, new service reservoirs and new or refurbished existing pumping stations, will take place in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire with construction expected to start in 2013 and continuing through to 2018.
As well as allowing water to be moved around the region without having to develop new sources, it will provide alternative water supplies to areas that are currently supplied by sources which suffer from seasonal or occasional water quality problems without the need to build new water treatment works. In conjunction with catchment management to deal with deteriorating water quality, it provides a sustainable approach to the delivery of water services to customers.
