Stroud Sewerage Upgrade

Following our investigation works in 2021, we reached the next stage in our project and our main work began in March 2022. 

Stroud MP, Siobhan Baillie has visited Severn Trent's £25 million sewer improvement project to learn first-hand about the benefits that the scheme will bring to the town’s sewer network. 

Stroud News and Journal have also reported on the works that are happening(opens in a new window).

Shops and business in Stroud remain open and are not affected. 

Work started on 7 July 2022 - Galliford Try, our contractors, have completed the tunnelling and open cut works on the scheme they are now focussing on the construction of the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) along the Ebley Bypass. Main construction works in this area will be complete February 2024 with the M and E fit out and commissioning complete June 24. The new sewer system will be brought online from June to September 2024. This work is estimated for completion in Summer 2024.

We've now completed all reinstatement works at the new CSO located at along the A419 Ebley Bypass. We will come back later in the year to carry out our final testing.

We do need to carry out some additional upgrade work to our Stanley Downton Treatment Works. This additional work is required to ensure that our new CSO works efficiently.

We are currently working with our contractors so that this work can be planned.

Our pledge that we’ll Get River Positive by 2030.

Severn Trent says ‘Thank you’.
