Deephams Sewage Works Upgrade

About this project

Sewage works upgrade to meet new effluent treatment consents for the existing Deephams sewage works. The new consents come into effect in March 2017 and require a step change in the quality of the treated effluent discharged into the river. At the same time the current treatment consents will need to be met throughout the upgrade ensuring ongoing treatment of full flows. Thames Water are therefore reviewing the options for constructing the upgrade including on and off site options and alternatives.
