South West Water

Over the last few weeks our we've been meeting with local MPs to talk about the work that our brilliant colleagues have been doing for their constituents. We've been accelerating investment ahead of our most ambitious plan for the region - investing £3.2bn over the next five years, on top of the £1.2bn we've already spent over the last two years. Our plans to have more customers as shareholders, through our unique WaterShare+ scheme, directly gives our communities a voice in their water company, with more to come. Next week, Ofwat will deliver its final determination on our 5-year plan - as we continue to focus on what matters most to our customers.

After eight weeks of hard work in some very challenging weather conditions, our teams have completed work early to replace a 300-metre section of sewer in Exmouth. The work forms part of a wider £38m investment to improve local services and follows £20m that has already been invested in the area over the last 5 years. Our work to tackle the use of storm overflows extends right across the region and we've already made improvements to two-thirds of our highest spilling storm overflows from 2023, preventing around 12,500 spills to the environment so far.
