Government fast-tracks two new reservoirs to shore up water supply

  • The UK Government is fast-tracking approval for two new major reservoirs in Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire to improve water supply.
  • This move responds to decades of underinvestment, rising demand, climate change, and supply threats that have hindered new reservoir construction.
  • Anglian Water plans the Lincolnshire reservoir near Sleaford, providing 166 million litres daily for 500,000 homes by 2040, and the Fens Reservoir near March, supplying 87 million litres daily by 2036.
  • Water Minister Emma Hardy stated that the government is streamlining regulations to accelerate the planning procedures, aiming to secure water resources for future generations and enable the construction of thousands of new homes.
  • The designation as nationally significant infrastructure aims to streamline projects amid warnings that without action, water shortages could outpace supply by the mid-2030s.
