Detailed modelling of the local system is used to design a robust engineering scheme which will help to protect local watercourses.
WD News: Anglian Water is set to upgrade Market Rasen’s Water Recycling Centre (WRC), installing new equipment which will remove phosphorous from wastewater, improving the river water quality. Work has begun on site at Market Rasen WRC and is expected to finish by summer 2023.
Phosphorous is widely used in soaps and cleaning products but can be harmful to wildlife when it reaches rivers and other watercourses. The investment at Market Rasen WRC, which is worth more than £2.3 million, includes new equipment to strengthen the current water recycling process and remove even more phosphorous from wastewater.
This investment means the water entering the River Rase from Market Rasen WRC will be even cleaner, protecting wildlife and water quality in the river, as well as other downstream watercourses.
Molly McKie, spokesperson for Anglian Water, said: “These upgrades to Market Rasen’s Water Recycling Centre will help to protect nearby rivers and increase our resilience to climate change, by helping us make sure the wastewater is treated to an even higher standard than usual before it’s returned to the natural environment.”
