This village was not served by mains drainage and individual houses used private septic tanks and drainage fields to dispose of their sewage.

Cumrew installation A new small housing development on the edge of the village required both primary and secondary treatment to comply with Environment Agency discharge consent conditions and it was decided to install a larger process treatment plant to allow other dwellings within the village to join the new works. Treated effluent will discharge through a sub-surface irrigation field adjacent to the treatment works.

EnSo International Ltd, together with Millennium Companies Ltd and Waitings Drainage & Pipeline Contractors, recently completed the installation and commissioning of a new wastewater treatment plant for this site.
