United Utilities is inviting members of the public to find out more about the work planned to improve Saddleworth wastewater treatment works.
The water company is set to invest £12.8 million at its works in Greenfield to help improve the ecological status on a stretch of the River Tame to ‘good.’
The company will be investing in new technology and processes to help improve the final effluent that is returned to the environment by reducing the levels of ammonia, phosphorus and BOD.
Tree and vegetation clearance is due to start in July with the works expected to finish in Summer 2025 subject to the necessary planning permissions.
As well as helping to improve the River Tame, United Utilities is also going to work with its contractors to improve the odour control on the site by covering two tanks as part of the proposed scheme.
The public exhibition will take place Monday 19 June from 3pm – 7.30pm at Saddleworth Rangers, in Oldham.
