United Utilities is set to become the first water company in Europe to introduce an innovative low carbon, chemical-free wastewater treatment process and Near Sawrey will be one of the first sites to have the technology installed.

The company has been given the green light by its regulator to invest £200 million over the next five years to further reduce spills and take treatment standards at wastewater treatment works around Windermere to the next level. FujiClean, which was developed in Japan, is a chemical free-phosphorus removal solution and was originally developed as an alternative to septic tanks.

It has been trialled at a test site in Cheshire for the past year with promising results. Work will begin to install a FujiClean unit at Near Sawrey in Spring 2025.
