Tracking reservoir levels across our region is hugely important so that we can put the right measures in place to protect our supplies.
We are continuing to monitor our water resources closely and we thank all our customers who have taken simple steps to reduce their water use over the warm and dry summer. Our teams are working hard to deliver major leakage reductions which is already having an impact, and we’re continuing to support customers with free water-saving devices and proactive water saving advice.
By everyone joining us in using water wisely, we can continue to enjoy everything our beautiful region has to offer without putting unnecessary strain on supplies.

Drinking water in the South West is mainly taken out of rivers and our 23 reservoirs. A lot of these reservoirs are small, serving local catchments, and are supported by the three larger reservoirs (what we call our strategic reservoirs) - Colliford, Roadford and Wimbleball.
Water from these three strategic reservoirs is shared between a lot of the smaller reservoirs, which is why making sure Colliford, Roadford and Wimbleball are nice and full is so important.
So whether your local reservoir is brim-full of water, we're encouraging everyone to use water wisely.
