Message from Anglian Water

Every day we clean and supply a billion litres of healthy drinking water and take away and clean your water after it’s been used. It’s all part of the service we provide using the money you pay us via your bill.

The drains and sewers in your community take used water away to your local water recycling centre (WRC) off Holdenby Road in East Haddon. We then clean it before returning it safely to the local environment.

Phosphorous is a chemical widely used in soaps and cleaning products, but it can be harmful to wildlife in our waterways. To tackle this, we’re investing almost £2 million into upgrading our WRC, installing new equipment, and strengthening the current water treatment process.

Our work at your local WRC will mean we can take out even more phosphorus from the water we return to the environment, improving the water quality for wildlife and reducing algae growth in your local rivers and streams.

All the building work will be confined to our site, so there’ll be minimal disruption to you, although you will see more of our vehicles out and about in the area.

We’re due to begin work on 27 May and if everything runs smoothly, we’ll be finished by October 2024.

You can find information about this scheme and see any updates at anglianwaterproject.com/East-Haddon.

If you have any questions about our work, you can also email us at onealliancecustomers@anglianwater.co.uk or call us on 03457 145 145. You’ll just need to mention the reference number 63086248
