It’s #NationalRiversMonth, a time to highlight projects helping to keep rivers healthy, mitigate flooding, and deliver the clean, reliable water communities need to thrive. For example: when #PFAS was identified in the Cape Fear River. Turning to Black & Veatch, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) integrated granular activated carbon (GAC) technology at the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant, whose intake draws from the river. The project gave CFPUA critical operational flexibility to operate the plant in multiple configurations and adapt to changing source water conditions as well as rapidly evolving regulations. Since the project was completed, testing has shown at or near non-detect levels for PFAS in the plant’s treated water – a victory for the Cape Fear River’s water quality and the communities served by CFPUA.

Good news for everyone in the Water Industry, Ofwat have appoved £88bn of spending in AMP8 and hopefully be good to their word that this will be closely scrutinised! Some of the headlines from Construction Enquirer:- Protecting the environment 44% cuts in spills from storm overflows by spending £10bn and upgrading 2,500 storm overflows £6bn investment in improving river water quality, including improvements at over 1500 wastewater treatment works – with around 880 removing more phosphorus 8 new performance targets for companies including reducing spills from storm overflows, reducing operational greenhouse gas emissions and improving biodiversity Automatic penalties for companies failing to meet target Securing supplies £6bn for securing water supplies, including progressing 9 new reservoirs and 7 large-scale water transfer schemes Requiring companies to replace around 8,000 km of water mains pipes – a 400% increase compared with the current 5-year period Targetting companies to reduce leakage by a further 13% Launching a £100m Water Efficiency Fund Day-to-day delivery for customers Tougher targets on internal and external sewer flooding, reducing sewer flooding in homes by 13% Higher standards set for assessing companies’ customer service through comparing water companies with other sectors

Syphons are a sometimes forgotten asset. Properly maintained syphons can not only increase capacity by as much as 50%, but they also contribute to better management of wastewater during peak flows, mitigating overflow incidents and improving environmental outcomes. It is believed a large percentage are not maintained. Neglected syphons present a critical challenge in the management of combined sewer overflows (CSOs). These assets, when left unmaintained, directly contribute to system inefficiencies and increase the likelihood of CSO spills, which have significant environmental and regulatory consequences. Stuart Johnson Oneline Surveys Ltd & Thomas Marsden Detectronic Ltd, have the solution, reach out now for more information. #wastewater #syphons #cso
