BOZEAT STW - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bozeat, North Northamptonshire

BOZEAT STW (Sewage Treatment Works) is located on Bozeat Bypass in the village of Bozeat, North Northamptonshire, England. The plant serves a population of 2,119 and operates as a secondary treatment facility, which is the standard level required for inland communities of this size under UK regulations. The plant has a designed capacity of 2,119 population equivalent and reports an average daily discharge volume of approximately 472 cubic meters. As a secondary treatment plant, it uses biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The facility is operated as part of the UK's wastewater infrastructure, regulated by the Environment Agency under the Water Industry Act 1991 and the Urban Waste Water Treatment (England and Wales) Regulations 1994. The treated effluent from BOZEAT STW is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the River Great Ouse catchment. This river system flows through the East of England and into The Wash, an ecologically important estuary and bay on the North Sea coast. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these downstream environments by ensuring that wastewater is adequately treated before release.

BOZEAT STW discharges into the River Great Ouse catchment, which flows through the East of England and empties into The Wash, a large estuary and bay on the North Sea coast. The Wash supports diverse aquatic life, including important bird populations and fish species, and is a designated site of ecological significance. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, safeguarding the health of this downstream ecosystem.
