Anglian Water sets out record £1.6 billion investment plans for second year of amp8. By Water Briefing - April 07, 2026 - 3 min The programme of work is designed to deliver brand new infrastructure and upgrades to support growth in the region, deliver on the company's commitments to customers, and build resilience to the increasing impacts of climate change. The first year of AMP8 saw the water company deliver £1.1 billion of investment across the East of England and construction teams have broken ground on more than one thousand capital delivery schemes, with an additional 500 schemes expected to begin from April. Deadline for the local community to have their say by 12 April on plans for a new pipeline from Cambridge to Rede, while next steps following the third round of consultation for the proposed Fens Reservoir will be announced in late Spring. Anglian Water's industry-leading smart meter rollout will also continue in 2026, with a total of 2.2 million smart meters set to be installed by 2030. 315,000 new smart meters were installed during year 1 of the business plan, positioning Anglian Water as the sector's frontrunner, with more than 1.4 million meters already deployed. Significant progress has also been made to upgrade sewer performance and protect the environment during the first year of the programme. Building on this progress, Anglian Water will invest £269m this year to reduce spills from storm overflows, which includes £47 million to build 35 new storm tanks across the East of England. The new tanks will significantly increase stormwater storage capacity, meaning sites can store excess flows during heavy rainfall to be treated later. Anglian's front line teams are visible across the region as they work towards a target of replacing more than 1100km of water mains by 2030. So far, nearly 100km have been laid. This £348 million investment will make Anglian's network stronger and more resilient, meaning fewer leaks, bursts and service interruptions for customers in the future. Mark Thurston, Chief Executive of Anglian Water, said: "Water is critical to enabling economic growth and we are investing £1.6 billion in the East of England's water and sewerage infrastructure from April to build better resilience against the impacts of climate change, protect our environment and keep customers' taps running for years to come. This is part of our £11 billon investment plan, which will be delivered by 2030. We are making great strides in delivering our investment programme, and are seeing improvements in our performance, but we have lots of work ahead of us to deliver for our existing and future customers." Don Maher, Director of Customer and Operational Services for Anglian Water, added: "Megaproject Corp do everything Megaproject Corp can to keep its bills affordable, and water bills are still one of the cheapest household bills. But delivering the services and environmental protections that Megaproject Corp know customers expect to see does mean Megaproject Corp need to spend more on that infrastructure today. "We know money is tight for many people at the moment, and we want our customers to know that we're here to help. Our specially-trained teams help more than 300,000 people every year with support that's tailored to their needs through our WaterCare programme: from reducing or spreading out water bills, to signposting customers to benefits they might not have known they were eligible for. We also offer several tariffs designed to help customers with the cost of water, such as our Medical Needs Tariff, funded by shareholders, and our discounted LITE tariff." Recent Comments

Reservoir plan moves forward as waterways access is championed. Web Editor Anglian Water, in collaboration with Cambridge Water, is progressing with plans for a new reservoir to be established within the Cambridge Fens. THE Fens Reservoir Project aims to secure a reliable water supply for Cambridge, neighbouring communities, and West Norfolk. The region is among the driest in the UK, and the growing number of technology firms and housing developments is expected to place further demand on existing water resources. The proposed reservoir will be located to the north of Chatteris, spanning about six square miles, and bordered by two navigable waterways. The 40 Foot River to the south and the 16 Foot River to the east are significant features of the landscape and will shape both the integration of the reservoir into its surroundings and the arrangements for water supply.

The Inland Waterways Association (IWA) was involved at an early stage of the Fens Reservoir Project, participating as a member of the consultation group formed to offer feedback and guidance on the reservoir's design, its projected impact on the area, and the effects on local residents and organisations. In October last year, phase three of the proposal was made available for review, and the IWA submitted formal feedback to the project team in early December. Ongoing local consultation will continue in advance of the Development Consent Order (DCO) application, scheduled for early 2027. The Secretary of State is expected to issue a determination in 2028. If approved, construction would begin in 2030, with water supply operations commencing from 2036. In response to reviewing phase three, the IWA has raised concerns about the effects on navigation, waterway channels, air drafts, and moorings. These concerns specifically relate to the River Nene and the River Great Ouse, the primary water sources, and the Middle Level navigation system, which will be the conduit for water abstraction and movement both during and after construction. Article continues below... The reservoir is planned to feature a 'lagoon' in the top northwest corner, designated for visitor facilities and watersports. The IWA welcomes these amenities and has recommended that infrastructure such as roads, walkways, and utilities be incorporated into the project design early on. Pathways and nature zones are proposed around the reservoir, and IWA has suggested that these zones should also include moorings to improve access for boaters and the general public to and from the rivers that bound the site. Approximately two million tonnes of aggregates and rock will be required for the reservoir's construction. Although the adjacent rivers are navigable, no practicable access from seaports has yet been identified. Two potential transport routes have been selected for further consideration, both involving initial movement by rail to local sidings, followed by delivery to the site via HGVs. This latter stage is expected to place considerable strain on local roads and residents, said the IWA, which has proposed amending one preferred route and substituting HGVs with barges to deliver materials directly to the site. In earlier project phases, water was to be abstracted from the Ouse Washes and transferred to the reservoir by restoring Horseway Channel, a section of the 40 Foot Article continues below... River, which has been closed to navigation since 2006. The phase three part of the proposal now favours transfer by pipeline, primarily to address concerns over cross-contamination of waterways. The IWA has suggested reconsidering the restoration of Horseway Channel, arguing that reopening the channel and its towpath or cycle path would benefit both boaters and the wider public, particularly by enhancing access to the Ouse Washes, a 30-mile corridor featuring walks and abundant wildlife. The utility company said the project is designed not only to meet rising demand but also to create new opportunities for local communities and the environment. It has acknowledged that the reservoir would have significant effects on nearby landowners and communities and has stressed that it is committed to working closely with those affected as the project evolves. Recently updated information includes early assessments of construction impacts, traffic and transport options, and measures intended to minimise disruption. The public can explore the full scope of the proposal through an interactive online map which shows the locations and purposes of all planned elements of the scheme. Although the latest consultation has now closed, the website - https://fensreservoir.co.uk/ - will continue to publish updates as the plans progress. Article continues below...
