Anglian Water upgrade in Towcester to protect environment from flooding
They have completed the upgrades at their water recycling centre
Anglian Water's @one Alliance has completed important upgrades to their water recycling centre in Towcester.
The upgrades aim to help protect the environment from flooding and support future growth in the area.
The new upgrades include a new million litres of storage capacity added which will allow excess water can be safely stored during heavy rainfall, giving the site more time to fully treat it before releasing it back into the environment.
This change will help prevents untreated water from spilling, helping to protect local watercourses – such as the River Tove - and the environment.
Samantha Bignall, Customer Experience Manager, explained the importance of the new infrastructure:
“Climate change is bringing more extreme weather, including sudden downpours and intense rainfall, so it’s essential we are prepared to manage excess storm water effectively.
“This project in Towcester will help protect local homes and businesses, as well as the surrounding environment and biodiversity.”
