Future Water were pleased to recently welcome representatives from the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA) to the Havant Thicket Reservoir site.
The visit provided an opportunity to share the latest progress on the project and to offer insight into how Portsmouth Water and Future Water are working together to deliver this important piece of regional water infrastructure.
During the tour, the NISTA team heard directly from those leading the project about the purpose of Havant Thicket Reservoir and the benefits it will bring once complete, including supporting the protection of local Chalk streams.
Colleagues from both Portsmouth Water and Future Water highlighted key milestones achieved to date, the scale of construction activity underway, and how teams across the project are collaborating to maintain momentum.
The visit concluded with a constructive and forward‑looking conversation about reservoir development in the UK. The discussion covered shared learning from major projects, opportunities to streamline processes, and ways the wider industry can continue to work together effectively to support the construction of future reservoirs.
The open exchange of views provided valuable insight and reinforced the importance of partnership working in delivering nationally significant infrastructure.
Future Water would like to thank NISTA for visiting the Havant Thicket Reservoir site and for engaging so positively in the discussions. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with partners across the sector as the project progresses.
