Current reservoir levels
Tracking reservoir levels across our region is hugely important so that we can put the right measures in place to protect our supplies.
Ready for Summer - update 15/07/2025
While we're not planning to introduce a hosepipe ban this summer, we are seeing a rise in demand for water as we would always expect in warmer months and we are continuing to work hard to manage our resources, tackle leakage and support our customers with using water wisely – simple steps like using a watering can instead of a hose, or taking shorter showers, really do to protect our most precious resource.
Please visit Water Great Summer for some ideas to help make the most of water this summer.
Monitoring and managing our 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.
