Bringing waste water back to life
To clean our waste water and return it to the water course, we use one of the oldest methods of waste water management known – the willow bed. The willow beds are of a series of ponds surrounded by over 8000 willows. The waste water runs from one pond to the next through these willow 'filter' beds and eventually feeds a larger lake at the bottom of the field.As the waste water passes through the beds, the roots of the willows suck out the nasties and use them as nutrients for growth. Regular testing of this source ensures that water that runs from the final lake is in pristine condition before rejoining the water course.
