GENERAL PROJECT

Witton Gilbert STW WINEP Phosphorous Removal

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing new tertiary treatment plant to enable the site to contribute to a catchment wide reduction in phosphorous discharges. The improvement works will cost around £2.3m, and it’s one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive an upgrade. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality.

Hello,

All the temporary pipe work has been set up supplying flows to the temporary High Sensitivity Acoustic Flow Sensors.

In the next month or so we will be demolishing the existing tanks and removing them from site. These tanks will be transported from the site using the farmer's access track meaning little or no impact to the walkers and dog walkers who use the access track to the site.

We will deliver and install new critical infrastructure at the end of February 2025, and complete all above ground pipe work and power up the new plant in March 2025

All being well the works should be substantially complete by mid May 2025.
