The construction phase of this project is now complete.

There may still be updates, so the project will remain here. We are still monitoring the project and will reply to any comments. So if you have any questions please feel free to comment or contact us here.

GENERAL PROJECT

Carlton & Redmarshall Sewage Treatment Works upgrade

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant and other improvements to the treatment process to enable the site to meet the forthcoming Phosphorous discharge consent of 0.7 mg/l, which will apply from December 2024. The improvement works will cost around £3.4m and is one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality.

Good morning all,

What we are planning and when

You may have noticed that our demobilisation has now been carried out of the Site compound howeer we do have some further works to carry out, to ensure the treatment process and Site always femains fully operational. The works will involve construction of two new underground storm tanks within the STW between Monday 21st October 2024 and Friday 10th January 2025.

Improvement work to the Sewage Treatment Works in your area

We want to let you know details of essential work we’ll be carrying out at Carlton and Redmarshall Sewage Treatment Works (STW) and outline what we are going to do to minimise any disruption to you. The location of the STW is outlined in the plan below.

How you will be affected and what we are going to do to help you

Please be assured that we will do our best to keep disruption to a minimum. Our planned work will take place within the boundary of the STW, which will remain fully operational so there’ll be no impact on the wastewater service we provide.

Good Morning,

Following our recent communication regarding our work we carried out on Wednesday 17th January in which we switched off a sewage pumping station in Bishopton Mill while we modified pipework on the Sewage Treatment Works site. I just wanted to let you know that additional work is due to be carried out on Thursday 25th January. The work is the same as before, we will use tankers to transfer effluent from the pumping station to the Sewage Treatment Works with the tanker route running along Mill Lane and Whitton village to the works to manage sewage flows at the pumping station. During this time, we may also need to access the pumping station at Thorpe Thewles via Vicars Close. 

Disruption will be kept to an absolute minimum during this time, and your water supply will not be affected.

Should you have any questions, please leave a comment below and a member of the project team will get back to you.

Thank you for your continued patience.
