A joint venture between Northumbrian Water and Modern Water has won a £22 million contract to build a wastewater treatment plant to treat all of Gibraltar's urban wastewater as well as storm flows for the entire population.
The jv was announced as the preferred bidder for the project in October 2014 following a formal tender process. The contract covers the design and survey work required for final planning and environmental approvals as well as preliminary site works .
These are the final steps before work can commence on the overall project for the design, build and operation of the wastewater treatment plant.
On completion of the design and build phase of the project by Modern Water, Northumbrian Water will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the plant for 20 years.
The operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant will be undertaken via a sub-contract by AquaGib, Gibraltar's water company, which is a joint venture between Northumbrian Water and HM Government of Gibraltar.
Graham Southall, Northumbrian Water's Group Commercial Director, said:
"We are delighted to announce such a significant step towards delivering this important project for the people of Gibraltar. Together, with Modern Water, we now look forward to working closely with the HM Government of Gibraltar to finalise the main Design, Build and Operate contract."
