Anglian Water is set to upgrade its Water Recycling Centres (WRCs) at Gosfield, Earls Colne and Eight Ash Green, installing new equipment which will remove phosphorous from wastewater.
.Work on the upgrades, which will help improve river water quality in the River Colne, is due to start on each site this month and is expected to finish by summer 2024.
Phosphorous is widely used in soaps and cleaning products but can be harmful to wildlife when it reaches rivers and other watercourses. The investments at Gosfield, Earls Colne and Eight Ash Green WRCs, which are collectively worth more than £7 million, includes new equipment to strengthen the current water recycling process and remove even more phosphorous from wastewater. The equipment will help remove harmful algae growth and improve water quality in local watercourses.
Anglian Water’s team has used detailed modelling of the local system to design a robust engineering scheme which will help to protect local watercourses in the Colchester and Braintree area now and in the future. This investment means the water entering the River Colne from each WRC will be even cleaner, protecting wildlife and water quality in the river.
The project is being completed by Anglian Water’s @one Alliance which delivers complex engineering and construction projects across the Anglian Water region.
