Watch work which has taken place at South Staffs Water's Hampton Loade treatment works to prepare for the installation of a new membrane treatment process which will significantly reduce energy consumption.

The innovative and environmentally sustainable water-filtration system has been installed at the treatment works, which has a capacity to produce 210 million litres of water a day and supplies to around 700,000 customers, in the largest deployment of its kind in the UK.

Four new large main connections have been installed into the existing treatment process whilst still maintaining supply to customers. This timelapse was filmed between March and April 2021.

The new ceramic membrane-based water-filtration solution will further enhance water quality, increase efficiency and reliability. Once completed, the new treatment process will significantly reduce energy consumption.
