United Utilities has started work on a project in Caldy in the Wirral that will improve the water quality in the Dee Estuary.
The North West water company is spending £1.3 million to reduce the number of times the storm overflow has to operate in the area during periods of heavy rain.
The project will see more capacity created in the sewer network to cope with periods of heavy rainfall.
The work is being carried out on a private track which will be closed for around 12 weeks.
The scheme is one of a number of storm overflow projects across the region that United Utilities has secured accelerated funding from Ofwat to make an early start on.
As part of its draft business plan for the period 2025 – 2030, the company is also proposing to invest a record £13.7 billion. Ofwat will review the proposals and give its draft response by June 2024. The final plans will be agreed by December 2024.
