United Utilities will be accelerating £1.5 million worth of investment and taking action to help reduce spills and improve water quality in the River Eea.
They will be installing a mini wastewater treatment works (package plant) at the pumping station. The work will reduce spills and treat up to 60 litres of water per second, free up capacity at Grange-over-Sands wastewater treatment works and provide screening to help reduce sewage discharges.
The work is scheduled to be completed in August and will be continuing to take regular samples to ensure the treatment works is performing as expected. This is a temporary solution to provide a quick response to the spills that have occurred.
