Major Projects
We manage a number of large water and sewerage projects to make sure our networks can support population growth and increased demand.

The Cowes Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) is being upgraded in early 2025 to increase the flow rate of water required to meet demand for the next 40 years.
Works will involve the installation of a new above ground PRV arrangement, the removal of the current underground arrangement, and other necessary upgrade works. Read more.
