Saving water in your business
Useful Retailer Links
During this phase you'll be able to use water as normal. However, we encourage you to keep saving water where you can, even when there are no restrictions in place. Find out how to help save water below.
We'll continue carrying out our ordinary water-saving and leak-reduction activities. Our Drought Plan explains what we'll do before implementing TUBs.
During this phase, we'll be preparing for drought by monitoring rainfall, water levels and river flows. If river flows are dropping and continue to fall, we may have to introduce water restrictions to reduce the amount we take from the river.
There won't be any restrictions in place yet, but we will encourage you to save water where you can and will provide tips for doing this. We will keep you updated on an impending drought as it progresses.

We provide water for life to enhance health and wellbeing, protect and improve the environment and sustain the economy – this is why we exist. It is our priority to ensure everyone has access to clean, safe and affordable water and effective and efficient wastewater services.
Our teams will be reducing storm overflow releases and improving the quality of water we return to the environment from our treatment works. We’ll also be upgrading our Hardham Water Supply Works and balancing expansion of our supply network with protection of local water sources.
In Worthing, a major £15 million upgrade of our East Worthing Wastewater Treatment Works will improve the reliability of the site. Nearby in Shoreham, we’re reducing spills and improving nutrient removal at our Clapham site as part of our commitment to improve the health of over 1,000km of rivers.
Towards Bognor Regis and Littlehampton we’ll be spending £85 million to upgrade our Ford wastewater site. Part of this investment will improve sludge treatment so it can be repurposed by local farmers, while the rest will help to reduce releases from local overflows with the introduction of improved flow monitoring technology.
As part of our £3.3 billion environmental investment to 2030, we’ll be contributing millions to conservation projects in the Arun Valley and the River Western Rother area. Nearby Lidsey Wastewater Treatment Works will benefit from £49 million worth of improvements will reduce any likelihood of pollutions or flooding, as well as reducing overflow releases. We’ll also be removing more phosphorus during treatment (enhancing the quality of water we return to the environment).
Over in Chichester, the quality of water leaving Thornham Wastewater Treatment Works will be improved, with better UV treatment and nutrient removal to protect local shellfish. A £15 million upgrade to the site and neighbouring Pagham, will also reduce overflow releases and improve the quality of local bathing waters.
To keep up with population growth in Mid Sussex we’re investing £67 million to upgrade our wastewater treatment sites, including Goddards Green and Scaynes Hill. We’ll be improving sludge treatment to generate biofuel, to be used to generate energy and supply farmers with fertiliser. We’ll also be increasing capacity at our Horsham Wastewater Treatment Works. While in Wivelsfield, Barcombe and Nutley an investment of £46 million at our wastewater treatment sites will improve treatment and nutrient removal, protecting the health of local rivers.
To reduce supply interruptions and increase the amount of water we can treat we’re spending £54 million to upgrade our Hardham Water Supply Works.
Burnham Water Supply Works will also get an upgrade, improving the removal of microorganisms from water supplies, while we plan to expand our nitrate removal schemes at our Mossy Bottom, Patching, Madehurst and Stanhope Lodge water supply works.
A new water recycling scheme and pipeline transfer near Littlehampton will supplement river flows and provide a sustainable source of up to 15 million litres more water a day for the surrounding area. While Hampers Lane Water Supply Reservoir and Turners Hill Water Supply Reservoir are both being upgraded to prevent future water outages.
