Anglian Water invests in flood prevention schemes
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
Around one million pounds is being invested by the utility in a project to protect homes in Ruskington, Lincolnshire, from sewer flooding.
The ten week scheme will see close to 200 metres of new sewer pipes installed in the High Street area to increase the capacity of the sewer network together with the construction of an additional 80,000 litre capacity storage tank.
Antony Innes from Anglian Water, said:
"We understand how devastating any type of flooding is, this is why we're regularly investing in projects like this to help protect homes and improve our network."
Anglian Water has been working in partnership with the Environment Agency and Lincolnshire County Council to understand the flooding problem in the area. Antony Innes said the company will continue to contribute to the wider flood surveys in the area to understand how high water levels in the nearby Beck and surface water run-off contribute to the issue.
