Greater Western Water engaged with the Romsey community between June and July 2023 to hear their feedback on the upgrade to the Romsey Recycled Water Plant (Romsey RWP).

Based on what we heard, our project team identified an opportunity to improve the upgrade by including an additional winter storage lagoon as part of the construction phase of the project. This new lagoon will provide extra capacity to hold treated water for reuse by local businesses and farms, helping us better meet the needs of the region’s growing population.

Since July 2024, the project team has been working on an improved design that includes this additional winter storage. We’re looking forward to sharing the updated plans with the community and hearing your feedback around June–September 2025.

As part of the initial consultation process community previously told us that protecting the native flora and fauna around the project site is important to them, so we're planning to install nesting boxes for local wildlife before the upgrade works start.

Thank you for continuing to help us shape the future of water services in Romsey.
