At 1.6km from east to west and 0.8km from north to south, the reservoir will be built on a 160-hectare grassland site owned by Portsmouth Water in Havant, Hampshire. It will hold approximately 8.7 billion litres of water and will be able to supply up to 21 million litres of water each day – having been filled in the winter from surplus water pumped from the Bedhampton springs in Havant. The reservoir is scheduled to be operational by 2029.
According to Portsmouth Water, the new reservoir at Havant Thicket will secure critical water supplies for the South East of England, an area under serious water stress. It will also help protect environmentally sensitive chalk streams and create a new, green leisure facility for local communities and wildlife. The scheme is being progressed under a collaboration between Portsmouth Water and Southern Water.
