From April 2024 to January 2025, Wessex Water will be carrying out work along the River Frome between Church Road and Watley’s End in order to improve sewerage and storm overflow.
About this project, Wessex Water posted on their social media page,
“Work to protect the River Frome and upgrade the sewerage network in Frampton Cotterell, South Gloucestershire, begins this month.
The £5 million investment will see three projects start in the village which will reduce how often nearby storm overflows need to automatically operate.
Nearly 900,000 litres of new underground storage will be built to ensure the network can cope with increased levels of stormwater after heavy rainfall.
The tanks will hold excess water from combined sewers that carry both wastewater and rainwater run-off until it can be treated to protect the River Frome.
The project is just one of nearly 100 improvement projects taking place in our region where we’re spending £3 million a month to reduce how often overflows operate.”
