Clean water in Winnie the Pooh country
A wastewater treatment works serving Winnie the Pooh's Hundred Acre Wood in East Sussex has been refurbished to help maintain high levels of cleanliness at the famous setting.
Southern Water's Hartfield Wastewater Treatment Works has been given a 1.4 million upgrade to ensure the water recycled back into a tributary of the River Medway continues to meet stringent environmental standards.
New on-line monitoring equipment is now helping the company analyse wastewater at the treatment works, including a new turbidity monitor, which helps measure the clarity of the treated water before it is returned to the environment.
