How Andersons partners with Water Authorities to deliver vital wastewater and flood water drainage services.
Across the UK, water authorities are increasingly turning to trusted private companies for support in managing a growing number of complex wastewater and drainage challenges. Whether it’s responding swiftly to pump station flooding, assisting with water management during severe weather, or offering dependable emergency services, Andersons stands ready to assist.
With extensive experience and a proven track record across the South West and South Wales, Andersons continues to work with Wessex Water and stands ready to support local water authorities such as, South West Water, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water and Severn Trent Water.
Tackling Capacity Issues in Times of High Demand
Periods of heavy rainfall or sudden storm surges can place immense pressure on local drainage and wastewater systems. When combined sewer systems become overwhelmed, it can lead to overflows that pose risks to public health and the environment.
In such instances, Andersons provides a vital support mechanism by delivering additional tankering and pumping capacity to ease the load on treatment plants and sewer networks. Our specialist equipment and trained operatives are equipped to deploy rapidly, helping to mitigate the impact of flooding and reduce the risk of pollution incidents, keeping communities safe and systems flowing.
Supporting Infrastructure Projects with Practical Expertise
Major infrastructure works such as the expansion of treatment plants, upgrades to sewer systems, or installation of new pipelines require not just planning but the right technical know-how and manpower. Water authorities frequently engage experienced private contractors like Andersons to support these large-scale projects.
Providing Emergency Response When It’s Needed Most
When the unexpected happens, whether it’s a major pipe burst, equipment failure, or contamination event, swift action is critical to protect water supplies and minimise environmental damage.
We are trusted by water authorities to act decisively, arriving on site with fully equipped vehicles, mobile pumps, and containment equipment to manage the situation safely and efficiently. Our teams are trained in environmental compliance and health and safety protocols, ensuring incidents are dealt with to the highest standards.
Delivering Value Through Cost-Efficient Outsourcing
Water authorities must balance operational effectiveness with the need to manage public funds responsibly. In many situations, outsourcing particular functions to specialist providers such as Andersons offers a more cost-effective solution than maintaining equivalent internal resources.
Whether it’s routine maintenance work, one-off support during peak demand, or backup services for remote or hard-to-reach areas, we provide a flexible and scalable option that helps reduce overheads while maintaining high service quality. For example, rather than spending many thousands of pounds on new tankers, which may sit idle for many months of the year, it is more cost effective to outsource the service when its needed.
