Southern Water outline investment plan to reduce storm overflows

By Christian Fuller & Sara SmithSouthern Water has outlined a new multi-million pound plan to reduce the use of storm overflows.

Southern Water said the plan, which includes "innovative" projects, aimed to reduce storm overflows in Deal, Margate and Whitstable by at least 20% within two years."Everything that is good for the environment is helpful," she said. Sal Burtt-Jones, campaigner for SOS Whitstable, said the group welcomed "any natural solutions to the problems".The plan will see the introduction and installation of raingarden planters, swales, tree-pits and countryside wetland schemes in an attempt to stop and slow surface and groundwater reaching the sewer system.

"To do this, we have to get to the root of the problem and reduce the amount of surface water entering the sewerage system," he said.
