Protecting the coast and supporting growth in West Sussex
We’re taking significant steps to enhance West Sussex’s coastline and drive sustainable local development.
Over the next five years, our plans will dramatically reduce the use of storm overflows and modernise wastewater treatment sites so they can process higher volumes and filter out more nutrients - like phosphorus - before releasing treated wastewater back into rivers and seas.
We’re also investing millions to strengthen infrastructure and protect future water supplies, including a major upgrade of our Hardham Water Supply Works. We’re expanding our supply network to support a growing population, reduce the risk of outages, and help keep local rivers healthy.
