  • Eastergate Well Refining
    www.WaterProjectsOnline.com Water Treatment & Supply Eastergate Well Relining Portsmouth Water’s ‘well’ thought out solution to minimise the risk of groundwater ingress by Connor Peter Smith astergate WTW is located in the area of Fontwell, Chichester. Treated water is pumped to Littleheath Reservoirs which serve a population of approximately 83,200, including the town of Bognor Regis. The WTW abstracts Ewater from the lower chalk where it is overlain by the Lambeth group rock strata. Eastergate Well provides a consistent supply of raw water which is treated at the WTW: the average amount abstracted daily is 8.1ML. In September 2012, G.Stow plc conducted a CCTV survey to ascertain the internal condition of the well. The survey established that for its age the asset remained in a serviceable condition. However, deposits of salt were found on the brick lining of the well and under further inspection there were leaks allowing groundwater ingress. This paper describes the measures taken to improve the condition and extend the life of the well, preventing a potential reduction in water quality. Maneuvering one of the steel tube sections into position A Diver being lowered into Eastergate Well Courtesy of Portsmouth Water Ltd Courtesy of Portsmouth Water Ltd Background the borehole there are numerous fissures which yield raw water Portsmouth Water Ltd is the utility company responsible for the from the South Downs. The well and borehole was originally sunk supply and distribution of potable water to parts of East Hampshire in 1893, the well measuring 2.4m in diameter and 25m in depth.

Sites where planning permission has been or may be granted Addendum 2 Barnham and Eastergate Neighbourhood Plan 2014-2029 Foreword The popularity and attraction of the villages of Barnham and Eastergate are principally based on the separate characters of the two settlements, their geographical location between the South Downs and the coast, with the open landscape of fields laced with water courses and hedgerows which surround the settlements, and the presence of patches and strips of ancient woodland throughout the area. In addition each village has conservation areas and an area of special character, with a mixture of statutory and locally listed historical buildings, and those with special character. Investment in the villages, and change in future years, will only be worthwhile if these make a real difference to the lives of local people and the future of their community.
