Fun facts

Alton Water has been supplying vital water resources to a large part of Suffolk for almost 50 years.

The reservoir was filled by the River Gipping, which involved pumping water for over 4 miles.

The water treatment works, built in 1987, treats around 10 million gallons of water a day – equivalent to around 250,000 baths!
