upcoming environmental work in your area.

We're committed to protecting your local environment and serving our communities. That's why, this year, we've invested £11.5 million into 13 river projects in our region to boost local wildlife habitats, water levels and our ability to tackle droughts.

One of the projects we've invested in is near you.

We're doing some work to make sure the River Brett is less likely to dry out during long spells of warm, dry weather and maintain a thriving home for wildlife.

We're refurbishing an existing narrow shaft in the ground (also known as a borehole) at our pumping station and then install new pipework between the borehole and the beck at the back of the WTW. This will allow us to pump groundwater from an area where there's lots to where it's needed most. During the drier months, this will support the pond and encourage flora and fauna to flourish.

We'll start work on 29 July 2024 and if everything runs smoothly, we'll be finished in September 2024. You can see where we're working on the map below.

We have another project planned at this WTW early 2025 to help towards tackling drought in your area. We're still in the design stages of this project and will contact you closer to the time when we know more.

When we're doing work like this there's always likely to be some disruption for residents, and we want to thank the whole community in advance for bearing with us while we work.

You'll see more of our vehicles around while we're working, and it might be a little noisier than normal. But don't worry, all our work will happen during usual working hours, and we'll always do our best to keep disruption to a minimum. 

None of our work will affect your services at home so you can continue to use your facilities as normal.

You can find out more by visiting anglianwaterproject.com/Raydon We'll update the information online with the latest or if there's any changes to our plans.

If you've got any questions or feedback about our work, you can call us on 03457 145 145 or email us at onealliancecustomers@anglianwater.co.uk.
