Since June 2024, we've completed an average of 34 enhancements a week, including 244 new storage solutions and over 180 flap valves to help prevent flooding during high river levels. But we know there’s more to do.
Whether you’re a river user, a local resident, or simply interested in river health, you want to see action—and so do we. That’s why we’re moving faster than any other water company to reduce spills from storm overflows as quickly as possible.
