PROJECTS SHOULD EASE THE PRESSURE GOING INTO AUTUMN THIS YEAR

SEVERN Trent says it has completed 1,500 engineering projects ahead of schedule.

The water and wastewater company, which serves four and a half million customers in the Midlands, has unveiled plans to fast-track the delivery of another 600 improvement projects to reduce the use of storm overflows across the region by autumn 2025.

The company said that now the 1,500 improvements are installed, the average amount of spills from storm overflows is expected to fall by over 25% to reach an average of 18 per year by December.

With another record year of rain and an increase in exceptionally high rainfall days, the work is currently estimated to have resulted in thousands of spills from storm overflows being prevented across the region in 2024.

At the Bassets Pole wastewater treatment plant in Sutton Coldfield, new auxiliary storm tanks have been installed alongside a new combined reed bed system.
