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.
