Welsh Sewer Network to be Upgraded

Dwr Cymru Welsh Water has started work on a £23m ($36m) project, which aims to improve the wastewater network of Wrexham, Wales.

The project involves upgrading the existing wastewater treatment works near Marchwiel to treat 10,000t of sewage waste each year using a digestion process solution.

The improved treatment process will also reduce odours generated during the process and the gas produced will be used to generate electricity.

The project is expected to be completed by October 2012.

The company will also invest £1.3bn ($2bn) in improving the water and sewerage network between 2010 and 2015.
