What are we doing?
We want to install new humus (settling) tank so that we can treat more wastewater at any one time. This will also improve the treatment of excess and diluted rainwater that flows into the site, increasing the quality of water returning to the local environment and improving local bathing waters.
Our team are currently on site, preparing for the planned work.
Where
St Helens Wastewater Treatment Works, Isle of Wight.
Investment amount
Over £2 million
Start date
February 2025, if planning permission is granted.
Completion date
March 2026
Useful information for residents and visitors
We expect that this work to have minimal impact on residents. However, we will have additional vehicles to and from the site.
It is possible that there may be traffic constraints, but we will construct a temporary layby area which will prevent any traffic backing up into the main road.
