Anglian Water - Lincolnshire Reservoir

An update on our timeline

Our plans for a new reservoir in Lincolnshire continue to take shape as we look to secure water supply long into the future.

To ensure we deliver our Water Resource Management Plan (WRMP), while also managing impacts on customer bills over the next five to 10 years, we have reviewed some of the timings for the project.

Our work on the reservoir is not stopping and we will be continuing to develop our plans using valuable feedback from the two phases of consultation to date.

Our phase two consultation closed on 9 August.

Thank you to everyone who took part – we are now reviewing all the feedback we received.

Your comments are a key part of developing our proposals to keep impacts as low as possible, and create benefits for people and nature.

So everyone can see the key themes and issues from the consultation, we will prepare and publish a summary of the feedback.

The main reservoir site

The proposed reservoir site, south-east of Sleaford, about halfway between Grantham and Boston. We've now developed an emerging design with ideas for the features it might include, and have also provisionally identified areas of land to the north and south of the reservoir site that we could need for environmental mitigation measures and/or construction.

Associated water infrastructure

When there is available water in rivers that would otherwise drain to the sea, we would draw that water and transfer it to the reservoir using new and existing infrastructure and waterways. We've carried out multiple stages of assessment to identify areas of land within which the new infrastructure could be located to transfer water to the reservoir, treat it and then supply it to homes and businesses. The proposed locations are between Torksey, West Lindsey, Boston and south-west of Peterborough.
