Monitoring and managing our supplies

Water is a precious resource and we encourage our customers to use it wisely, whatever the weather. This not only helps the environment but also helps to keep customer bills down.

Over the past two decades we have been working hard to secure supplies through investment in:

• improving our ability to move water around the region
• reducing leakage from pipes
• increasing reservoir storage e.g. converting two former clay pits
• pump storage schemes at Wimbleball and Colliford to improve resilience
• increasing capacity and improving efficiency at our water treatment works

The current levels of our five largest reservoirs are shown in the table below.
