How we’re investing £1.3m to help protect the River Avon

We are working to protect the River Avon running through Bath by easing pressure on the sewer system.

Our £1.3 million scheme in Lambridge will help reduce the operation of storm overflows by increasing stormwater storage.

A new 125,000 litre tank is being built in the car park of Bath RFC’s ground to help prevent flooding during heavy rainfall.

The tank will hold excess water from combined sewers which carry both wastewater from homes and businesses and rain run-off.

This can then be returned to the system to be treated and safely discharged to the environment later.

The project is part of the £3 million a month we are investing to tackle storm overflows.
