Our plans for 2025 and beyond
South West Water remains dedicated to improving services in Exmouth. This page outlines current and future projects.
Our goal is to reduce storm overflow spills to improve water quality, targeting a maximum of ten spills per year per overflow by 2030, with only two spills at designated bathing waters during the bathing season.
We’re working on several projects in Exmouth and it’s surrounding areas to address spills in the area. To ensure our solutions are effective we need to carry out surveying, this helps us to understand the factors that cause overflows to be used.
Please be aware that the stated finish dates below are subject to factors such as planning and approvals that may affect the schedule.
We’ve been working on projects in Exmouth that will help to improve local water quality and make the wastewater system more resilient. The projects outlined below are underway, with several to be completed by summer 2025.
