GENERAL PROJECT

Lanchester Sewer Treatment Works

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant (ferric sulphate and sodium hydroxide) and a new tertiary treatment stage to enable the site to meet the forthcoming phosphorous discharge consent. The improvement works will cost around £6.4m, and it’s 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 afternoon,

I hope you are well.

Since my last previous update last month, I have some further updates to share with you on the progress that has been made on the Treatment Works.

We have now built two out of three of the NSAF tanks and we have also got the new MCC cable trough completed. The third tank will be built following on from this and the new kiosk for the MCC will be on Site around 30th July.

We have also cleared the last of the reed bed and filled this with stone.

Should you have any questions to ask us, please don’t hesitate to add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Bethany
