You are welcome to answer all or some of the questions in this form, depending on the locations and issues that are most important to you. There is also an opportunity to comment generally on the Project and this consultation.

WATER TRANSFER AND WATER RECYCLING

This section seeks your views on water transfer and water recycling as the proposed solution to the challenge of securing a resilient water supply for homes and businesses in Hampshire. Further information on the need for the Project and how we have selected water transfer and water recycling as the solution to meet the challenge can be found in Section 2 of the Consultation Brochure and Section 3 of the Scheme Development Summary.

WATER RECYCLING PLANT

In this section we’re seeking feedback on the proposed site for the new water recycling plant and the process we went through to select it. More information can be found in Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure and Section 4 of the Scheme Development Summary.

PIPELINE CORRIDOR & ROUTE DEVELOPMENT

We will need to connect the water recycling plant with Budds Farm Wastewater Treatment Works to transfer treated wastewater to the water recycling plant, and send reject water from the water recycling process back to the wastewater treatment works. More information can be found in Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure and Section 3 of the Scheme Development Summary.

This section seeks your views on the pipeline corridor sections, including the preferred corridor. Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure and Section 4 of the Scheme Development Summary set out the process we went through to develop the pipeline corridor sections and the preferred pipeline corridor.

Following this consultation, we will be looking to confirm our preferred corridor and consider further the detailed routing of the pipeline within this corridor. We will use our indicative pipeline route as a starting point but want to hear your views on factors that are important to you that may influence the pipeline route, for example, in relation to possible construction impacts.

In Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure we show two pipeline corridor options in corridor section P:

In Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure we show two options in corridor section Z south of Fisher’s Pond:

In Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure we show two options in corridor section Z as the pipeline approaches Otterbourne Water Supply Works:

For the construction phase of the Project, we’re looking at using a trenched (open cut excavation) method along the majority of the pipeline route and trenchless methods such as tunnelling to cross major roads, railways and rivers. More information on the typical installation methods can be found in Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure.

ABOVE GROUND PLANT: HIGH LIFT PUMPING STATION

We have identified that we will need a high lift pumping station to support the transfer of water from Havant Thicket Reservoir to Otterbourne Water Supply Works. Our site evaluations concluded that the best location is to site it with the new water recycling plant south of Havant. Details of our site selection process and the location of the high lift pumping station can be found in Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure.

ABOVE GROUND PLANT: PUMPING STATIONS AND BREAK PRESSURE TANKS

Along the pipeline route we will need to build above ground plant such as intermediate pumping stations and break pressure tanks. A number of ones for this above ground plant have been identified. Details of our site selection process and the potential locations of the plant can be found in Section 3 of the Consultation Brochure and Section 4 of the Scheme Development Summary.
