The work being carried out by the not-for profit utility company will help improve the quality of the water which is released to the environment, which in turn will boost water quality in the Norton Brook and River Lugg.
The first phase of the investment work began in Norton last year and involved building a brand-new pumping station which will pump waste to Presteigne Wastewater Treatment Works to be treated before it is safely returned to the environment.
It is anticipated that the work in Norton will be completed by the end of December 2021.
The second phase, which starts at Presteigne Wastewater Treatment Work next week, involves upgrading the existing assets to improve the way the waste is treated. It is expected that the work in Presteigne will take approximately one year to complete.
Welsh Water’s Project Manager, Angela Meadows, said:
“Our work in Norton has been ongoing since December 2020, and we’re pleased to say that it’s been progressing well. The second phase is about to get underway at Presteigne Wastewater Treatment Works and will help ensure we continue to provide a first-class wastewater service and protect our valuable environment.”
