New Romney Mains Drainage
A multi-million pound scheme to provide New Romney and Greatstone/Lydd-on-Sea with mains drainage for the first time has been completed.

Previously properties were served by private drainage facilities including cesspools and septic tanks, which were liable to leak and cause environmental damage.

Now up to 1,900 properties are able to connect to the mains network, which is made up of 35 kilometres of sewers, which transport the wastewater to New Romney Wastewater Treatment Works for cleaning and recycling back into the environment. 

River Medway Water Improvements
Southern Water is carrying out a £20 million scheme in north Kent to improve the quality of recycled water returning to the River Medway.

At the moment the wastewater from homes in Cuxton and Halling is collected and treated at small, ageing works in the villages.

Southern Water is building an eight kilometre underground pipeline to link these works to the company's modern treatment works at Ham Hill where the wastewater will undergo several stages of treatment before being recycled to the River Medway.

A new odour control system is also being built and the works refurbished at Ham Hill to ensure the treated wastewater meets stringent European directives.

Work started in Spring 2007 and is due to finish by Autumn 2008.
