A proposed new reservoir in the Cambridgeshire Fens
Anglian Water and Cambridge Water are progressing plans for a new reservoir in the Fens that would help meet the region’s future water supply needs.
The new reservoir is at the heart of a whole new water supply project and will secure a reliable water supply for generations to come.
Our vision goes beyond just securing a new water supply. We want to create a place where water, people and nature come together.
This is an opportunity to create a place for local communities to value and use and that's why you have an important role to play.
