Horsley Water Treatment Works Upgrade

A £46M project to upgrade Horsley WTW has now reached a key milestone. We have selected our partner Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB), to upgrade the treatment works.

Update by Julie Oakley

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all set for the school summer holidays, just hope the weather improves for you all.

 

I thought I would touch base with an update on the upgrade of the water treatment works in your area, I am pleased to say that great progress continues to be made at Horsley with the commissioning of six new rapid gravity filters (see the image below), this is the 2nd stage of the water treatment process, where water is filtered through a layer of anthracite, sand and gravel. The rapid gravity filters (RGF) are expected to be fully operational within the coming weeks.   

Works substantially completed this month have included the diversion of a gas main and the site wide reinstatement including footpaths. 

We would like to thank you all for your continued support and patience while the works continue and that I hope we are not causing too much disriptution in the village with the on going traffic. If you have any questions or queries please leave a comment below or contact us on the details provided and one of the team will get back to you.

thank you

Julie
