Welsh Water is to invest £2.5 million to upgrade the wastewater system in Nant Talwg, Barry which will help to protect the environment in the area for years to come.
The company is planning to install a new pipe from Nant Talwg pumping station before connecting in to the existing network on Glamorgan Street Barry.
Work will begin on 18th February and will see around a kilometre of wastewater pipe - which has almost reached the end of its operational life - being replaced.
To avoid going through the housing estate where the current pipe is located, Welsh Water has liaised with the local authority to agree a new route across their land.
Welsh Water’s Programme Delivery Manager, Teresa O’Neil said the work will be monitored by ecologists to ensure that, should any protected species be found on site, they will not be adversely affected.
