Key elements of the project include compliance with new quality permits, increasing flow and storm tank capacity, upgrading effluent treatment processes, among other infrastructural enhancements. The contract value ranges between £240,000,000 and £260,000,000, with an overall contract period lasting approximately 5 years (1800 days).
