Here you can view the latest levels for each which we aim to update every week. The water we supply mainly comes from groundwater, rivers and reservoirs Here you can view the latest information about their current levels. The graphs below show the latest groundwater levels compared to previous years The red, orange and yellow lines show how the actual levels compare to what's considered as exceptionally or notably low We live in a chalky area, making us prone to high groundwater levels, especially in hilly regions.
We have four key water reservoirs that you can visit which store vital drinking water supplies for the south east From exciting water sports to woodland walks, there's plenty to see and do at the reservoirs and in the surrounding areas. We’re spending over £40 million on a water reservoir upgrade project at bewl This will keep the reservoir safe and protect against the effects of climate change The project will allow us to reduce the reservoir water level more quickly There are many reasons why we might need to do this.
These will allow us to reduce the water level of the reservoir more quickly, if needed. The bird hide and viewing area are accessible from the legsheath lane car park From here you can sit, relax, and try to spot different kinds of birds including reed bunting, whitethroat, kingfishers, and wading birds when the reservoir water levels are low enough. The upgrade will increase the amount of water the site can treat and makes sure that when we do have to carry out fixes on site, we don’t have to turn your taps off. It is essential to the health of the rivers, fields, forests and beaches that we love It’s easy to take water for granted, but the process behind it is nothing short of amazing
Each step in the treatment process is crucial in making sure the water you drink is safe and clean.
