Our sewage treatment works and reed beds aid NWG in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Joan Tatters

Good Morning All,

Well I thought I'd let you know the "end is in sight", Mark and the team have finished off the transplanting and the 4 lagoons are all currently up and running, which is a great milestone on this project. Waiting for the results of the sludge drying bed will determine if we can call time so we are just waiting for that information.

This week, the fencing on either side of the gates at the bridleway will be made good and the herras fencing will be removed and the access track between the gates will be restoned. A general tidy up around the site will take place, including the cleaning of the road down to the compound then removing all other temporary fencing. Mark's guys will conduct the landscaping around the lagoons to reinstate the area, that job would always be weather dependant so lets hope this great weather continues.

Here are some photos for you to see what great work the team have done, it's been along process but we are just about there.
