Anglian Water has recently completed the installation of a further two new storage tanks in Horncastle in Lincolnshire and West Runton in Norfolk respectively at a combined cost of £2.7 million.
The completion of the projects will see additional resilience to extreme weather caused by climate change and protect local communities and the environment from flooding and pollution.
The new storage tank located in Horncastle, Lincolnshire at a cost of £1.5 million will be able to hold 108,000 litres of water during heavy rainfall until the network frees up and prevent wastewater from being released too quickly, giving The Old River Bain and biodiversity nearby a chance to recover.
The new storage tank in West Runton at a cost of £1.2 million will be able to hold nearly 460,000 litres of water, preventing wastewater from being released too quickly, giving West Runton beach and biodiversity nearby a chance to recover. Once the network frees up, the excess water can be transported through pipes to Cromer WRC to be fully treated before being returned to the environment.
Both tanks have been sealed and located underground where they will not be visible to members of the public – apart from a manhole visible at ground level.
The £1.5 million project is just one of the storage tanks installed by the water company as part of their previous £100 million investment portfolio over the next three years.
Earlier this month, Anglian Water launched its five-year business plan worth £11bn - its largest ever and almost double that of the previous five-year period.
