A wastewater treatment works serving Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood in East Sussex has been refurbished to help maintain high levels of cleanliness at the famous setting.
Southern Water’s Hartfield Wastewater Treatment Works has been given a £1.4 million upgrade to ensure the water recycled back into a tributary of the River Medway continues to meet stringent environmental standards.
New on-line monitoring equipment is now helping the company analyse wastewater at the treatment works, including a new turbidity monitor, which helps measure the clarity of the treated water before it is returned to the environment.
Charles Hendry, MP for Wealden, said: “Schemes such as this at Hartfield make a vital contribution to protect our rivers and streams. Improving the quality of the water recycled back to the environment is an important responsibility for water companies and it is wonderful to see that Southern Water is continuing to improve its sites across the region.”
Perry Rottner, Section Leader for Southern Water, said: “Between 2005-2010, Southern Water is investing £1.8 billion across the region in schemes such as this one at Hartfield. The investment will help us improve the quality of wastewater which is treated and recycled into rivers and the sea.”
Hartfield treatment works serves approximately 1,000 people, and treats up to 10.4 litres of wastewater every second.
