South East Water is getting ready to start work on a £14 million upgrade to its College Avenue water treatment works in Maidenhead.

The project forms a key part of the water company’s five year £489 million investment programme to improve water supply infrastructure.

Preparations are already underway - the work will take place entirely within the water treatment works site, with construction set to begin in July.

The work will be carried out in two phases, with various new tanks and a UV plant being added to help improve the quality of water supplied to customers in the Maidenhead area.

The first phase of work is due to complete in August 2024 with further work planned in the future.

Steve Ntifo, South East Water’s Project Manager, said:

“We are committed to using the most up-to-date technology to ensure we provide the highest quality of drinking water to our customers.

“This project is key to future proofing the top quality drinking water we already provide in Maidenhead area.”
