Anglian Water has confirmed that Clancy Docwra, Claret Civil Engineering, Danaher & Walsh and Public Sewer Services will continue their work as partners in the Integrated Maintenance and Repair for Water Recycling (IMR WR) alliance for a further five years in AMP8.

The IMR WR alliance plays a critical role in maintaining and repairing the water recycling network across the Anglian Water region. From repairing burst mains to monitoring sewage flow and reducing pollution risks, the alliance ensures reliable and sustainable water recycling services.
