Esholt sewage works in
Bradford is to be transformed with a £55m investment.
Yorkshire Water is installing new state-of-the-art sewage treatment systems
to improve the quality of water entering the River Aire.
The work will take up to three years to complete, by which time it is hoped
salmon and other wildlife will have started to return to the river.
Esholt currently treats waste from more than 300,000 homes and industrial
waste equivalent to a further 442,000 people.
The work will be contained on site and should not affect customers,
Yorkshire Water said.
It is the first phase of a much larger regional programme of work that will
ultimately see more than 400km (250 miles) of river water quality being
improved throughout Yorkshire.
