The Project

This is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the UK and it will be achieved by the engineering, integration and assembly of a series of interconnected pipelines which will enable AW to move water from areas with surplus water, to areas which are in deficit, making the east of England resilient to drought and securing water supplies for future generations. The project will have the added benefit of removing customers from a single source of supply.

The interconnected pipelines will require several Break Tanks and Pumping Stations at key locations to ensure water can be moved efficiently. The pipelines, when finished, will be hundreds of kilometres in length.
