Southern Water is investing £2.5 million to upgrade its Grayswood Wastewater Treatment Works in Surrey in an effort to bring down phosphorous levels and improve water quality.

The improvement works at the village near Haslemere are now underway and it is estimated that the project will be completed by the end of March 2025.
The work includes building a new treatment process, known as Ferric Dosing that helps reduce the amount of phosphorous leaving the site which in turn improves water quality.
Chris Tinker, Project Manager for Southern Water, said:
“We’re pleased to see the start of this project at Grayswood and we are keen to continue investing in our treatment works across the region.
These types of investment in upgrades will help improve our environmental performance and improve water quality. It’s vital that we continue to improve how we treat wastewater so that capacity increases and the quality of the final effluent leaving the site it as high as it can be.”
Craig Nienaber, Business Development Manager for Safe Access Solutions (SAS) at HUBER Technology, explores why the company is seeing a growing level of interest in its safe access solutions for critical infrastructure providers, including their application in wastewater treatment assets.

Southern Water has released film and images showing what it’s like to walk inside Hampshire’s expanded Yew Hill underground reservoir for the very last time, before it gets filled with water.
