Two proposed Service Reservoirs for the storage of drinking water, located at strategic locations for onward supply and storage. The two Service Reservoirs are to be sized to provide 36 hours of storage. The central Service Reservoir will have a capacity of approximately 17ML and the western Service Reservoir will be approximately 13ML. A network of proposed pipelines conveying advanced recycled water to the River Waveney outfall structure and pipelines to convey drinking water from the existing Barsham Water Treatment Works to the proposed service reservoirs for distribution.
