Severn Trent Expands Water Treatment to Protect Telford’s 43,000 Homes

Telford is set to see significant infrastructure improvements as Severn Trent Water proposes an expansion of the Rodway Water Treatment Works. This initiative aims to enhance water treatment processes that serve approximately 43,000 homes in the area.

Severn Trent’s Expansion Plans

Severn Trent Water’s expansion project is a key part of its five-year capital expenditure programme. The initiative is designed to tackle environmental concerns and respond to the increasing population in Telford.

Details of the Expansion

• The expansion will potentially double the footprint of the existing site.
• Improvements are aimed at ensuring adequate water supply and treatment for local residents.

Located in Cherrington, near Newport, the Rodway Water Treatment Works plays a vital role in providing clean water. The plans will be reviewed by Telford & Wrekin Council, which will consider the environmental impacts and benefits of the proposed changes.

Benefits to the Community

By enhancing the infrastructure, Severn Trent aims to ensure safe and reliable water treatment for Telford’s growing population. This expansion reflects the company’s commitment to environmental sustainability and community wellbeing.

Residents can look forward to improved services as the plans move forward, ensuring water quality meets modern standards and supports future growth in the region.
