I had a useful and informative meeting with Anglian Water at the Haven Road water treatment plant today. It was great to hear of over £2 million pounds of investment in Colchester over the next two and a half years including improvements to storm tanks.
I also discovered that around 38 tonnes of 'rag' - mostly wet wipes were pulled out of the plant at Colchester this year alone. Please think and be really careful about what you flush down your toilet!
We also discussed their Get River Positive programme, which means Anglian Water will strive to do no harm to UK rivers and do everything they can to ensure they can thrive.
