Anglian Water – March Water Recycling Centre – pausing liming work for the summer holidays

Temporary operational change at water recycling site on Creek Road during the summer period.

As you may be aware, our waste treatment activities, particularly the use of lime, have led to increased odour and traffic in the surrounding area. While this work is essential, we recognise the disruption it can cause nearby residents.

To support the community and minimise further impact during the school holidays, we have made the decision to pause all waste treatment operations from 27 July to 22 September at the site.

This means that:

  • Odour reduction: Lime treatment will cease, and associated smells should dissipate quickly.
  • Traffic relief: Vehicle movements to and from the site will return to normal levels during this period.
  • Community engagement: We are proactively contacting local residents by email and letter, and will continue to update our website with the latest information.

We remain committed to being a good neighbour, and this pause is part of our ongoing efforts to balance operational needs with community wellbeing.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards

Grant
