The East of England is among the driest regions in the UK, a view supported by the Environment Agency assessment that classified the region as a ‘Serious Water Stressed Area’.

Project Overview

To ensure that we have enough water for now and future generations, we are investing over £1.5 billion in the next five years, and this project is part of the solution.

The Suffolk Water Recycling, Transfer and Storage Project is made up of two key elements, the development of a new Advanced Water Recycling Plant, capable of producing 11 million litres per day of purified recycled water, and strategic network enhancements that will support a more reliable and resilient water supply for the region.
