Anglian Water's @one Alliance has finished work at their recycling centre (WRC) in King's Lynn to safeguard the local environment and protect the community from flooding.
The project, totalling £5.3 million, included the construction of a storm water tank which will be able to hold excess water during heavy rainfall until it can be treated and returned safely back into the environment.
This upgrade helps protect the local environment during heavy rainfall by making sure the system can handle sudden downpours - the site is now able to capture over 5.6 million litres of rainwater.
The work reduces the risk of flooding and helps prevent pollution from entering nearby rivers, including the River Great Ouse.
By improving how stormwater is managed, Anglian Water is protecting local rivers and wildlife, while also building resilience to the effects of climate change which see extreme weather events like flash downpours becoming more common.
Chloe Bailey, Customer Experience Specialist for the project said:
“We know how much our customers care about their local rivers and the environment. We’re pleased that this project in King’s Lynn will help protect these precious resources by reducing the risk of pollution and flooding from bouts of extreme weather.”
Earlier this month, Anglian Water announced the start of their next five-year business plan which will see £11 billion of investment across the region. The water company will be doubling their investment to £4 billion to enable nature recovery for the well-loved environment in the East of England.
