United Utilities invests £1.3 million in Manchester sewer upgrade to cut River Irk overflows
  • United Utilities completed a GBP 1.3 million sewer upgrade near Manchester’s Green Quarter and NOMA to improve River Irk water quality.
  • Works disconnected surface water drainage from a combined sewer at Aspin Lane, reducing wet-weather flows that triggered a storm overflow.
  • The storm overflow has been sealed off, removing it from operation.
  • The project started in June, was planned for 19 weeks, finished ahead of schedule.
  • The scheme aligns with a wider GBP 13 billion investment program to protect and enhance more than 500 km of regional waterways.
