GENERAL PROJECT

Chilton Lane Sewage Treatment Works upgrade

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant (ferric sulphate and sodium hydroxide) to enable the site to meet a revised Phosphorous discharge consent of 0.2 mg/l, which will apply from December 2024. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality. The improvement works will cost around £4.3m and is one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade.

Good afternoon,

Here is the latest update for Chilton Lane Sewage Treatment Works.

All mechanical and electrical works on site are now complete, with only 80% of the civil works left.
The new system has been brought live and is in the commissioning phase.
The process lab has now been delivered and is fully complete.
Effluent has begun passing through the new treatment process.
In the next coming weeks the process will be commissioned and chemical dosing will be introduced.
We will begin to look at our landscaping and planting works in preparation for completion of the project in November.

As always please get in touch if you have any questions.

Thanks
