May Gurney Secures UK Sewage Maintenance Contract

May Gurney has secured a £62m ($97.8m) contract from Severn Trent Water for the handling of sewage services in the eastern region of Severn Trent’s service area in the UK.

The contract period is for five years with an option to extend it for a further five years.

May Gurney’s contract could also be extended in value when private drains and sewers are transferred to water companies in October 2011.

“We are delighted to be working with Severn Trent Water on this new maintenance contract,” said May Gurney’s chief executive Philip Fellowes-Prynne.
