A proposed new reservoir in Lincolnshire
Anglian Water is proposing a new reservoir in Lincolnshire to help meet the growing demands on water supply in the East of England.
The new reservoir is at the heart of a whole new water supply project. Together with the associated water infrastructure we need to transfer water to the reservoir, and from the reservoir to homes and businesses, it will secure a reliable water supply for generations to come.
Our phase two consultation is now open. You can play an important role in helping to shape our proposals, so they best serve the needs of everyone.

The main reservoir site
The proposed reservoir site, south-east of Sleaford, about halfway between Grantham and Boston. We've now developed an emerging design with ideas for the features it might include, and have also provisionally identified areas of land to the north and south of the reservoir site that we could need for environmental mitigation measures and/or construction.
Associated water infrastructure
When there is available water in rivers that would otherwise drain to the sea, we would draw that water and transfer it to the reservoir using new and existing infrastructure and waterways. We've carried out multiple stages of assessment to identify areas of land within which the new infrastructure could be located to transfer water to the reservoir, treat it and then supply it to homes and businesses. The proposed locations are between Torksey, West Lindsey, Boston and south-west of Peterborough.

Our phase two consultation is open from 30 May until 9 August 2024.
