£2.8m. That's what we've spent on a new fleet of cesspit tankers. Investing in this critical island infrastructure means more trucks available, more of the time. And we invited the Guernsey Press along to have a look: tinyurl.com/4reuzt3v

We found a nasty surprise lurking in Cobo foul water pump station…. These rag monsters are more often than not made up of an accumulation of irresponsibly flushed wipes, even those labelled as flushable contribute to these horrors! Moral of the story, bin it, don't block it!

Ring main – Phase2 250m+ of the 400m of pipework is now installed on Rectory Hill! An example of the importance of forward planning essential infrastructure, failing to do this now could mean pressure drops & even the loss of supply to 000's in future. water.gg/ringmain

Almost 90yrs ago plans for St Sav’s reservoir were drawn up. Critics questioned whether we'd ever need that much water, or if a dam would even hold it! Today we use around 4.5 billion litres a year, over 4x the capacity of St Sav’s reservoir! Bold then, a critical asset today.

In the 30s, several quarries were bought to help secure water supplies for generations. Juas, Jamblin, Marais & Capelles still play a key role today. Together, holding an impressive 838 million litres! A legacy of forward thinking that continues to protect our island from drought
