Severn Trent is set to begin essential works to improve and maintain its water treatment at Trimpley Water Treatment Works, in Bewdley. 

Starting this month, the water company will be cleaning the Lagoon on site at Trimpley Water Treatment Works as part of a £1.5million investment to provide the best quality treatment for its water network. 

During water treatment, materials such as silt are removed from abstracted water to make it safe for customers. These materials accumulate and settle in the lagoon, allowing clean water to pass back to the River Severn. Removing the materials ensures our treatment process can continue to operate effectively. 

A specialist contractor will be carefully removing and redistributing to nearby fields and farmland approved by the Environment Agency. This approach helps to restore soil health and encourage crop growth, supporting modern circular agriculture. 

This project is expected to take around five months to complete, and customers will have a chance to speak to the team directly on Wednesday, January 14^th during a specially organised drop-in session. 

The event is taking place between 3pm and 5pm at Trimpley Sailing Club, Trimpley Reservoir, Eymore Wood Lane, Bewdley, DY12 1PJ. 

Laura Holloway from Severn Trent’s Community Communications team, said: “This £1.5 million investment at Trimpley Water Treatment Works is all about ensuring customers continue to receive the highest quality water. By carrying out these essential works, we’re strengthening the resilience of our network and making sure it’s secure for generations to come. 

“If anyone has any questions about our work, we’d encourage them to come along to our drop-in session to find out more. We understand that our improvements may be inconvenience with an increase in traffic, and we apologise for any disruption. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we carry out these essential improvements.” 

Access for residents and landowners will always be maintained, and deliveries will be managed locally by our on-site team.
