UU plans Oldham WwTW overhaul

摘要

United Utilities (UU) has announced a £114M overhaul of its wastewater treatment works in Chadderton and Royton to improve river water quality in the River Irk as well as meet obligations under the Freshwater Fish Directive by improving the standard of treatment and reducing stormwater overflows. The three-year project will involve decommissioning the treatment process at Royton and building additional storage tanks there to contain more of the storm flows. An underground pipeline will be laid to transfer sewage around 4.5km to the Old-ham WwTW at Chadderton.
