The Railway has recently secured a grant from the Dorset County Council ‘Chalk and Cheese’ fund which will be used to move a redundant LSWR water tower currently located to the east of Salisbury station to Swanage and install a water extraction system that uses reverse osmosis. In the long term this will save the Railway a large amount of money as we will no longer be dependent on using treated water from the mains for our steam engines. We urgently require additional funds to ensure the completed project becomes a reality – particularly as the terms of the Chalk and Cheese grant state that the project must be completed by mid-2012.
