CONINGSBY STW - East Lindsey, Lincolnshire Wastewater Treatment Plant

CONINGSBY STW is a wastewater treatment plant located in East Lindsey, Lincolnshire, England, serving a population of around 7,172. The facility is situated in the rural landscape of Greater Lincolnshire, near the village of Tattershall. As a small agglomeration, the plant plays a key role in managing local domestic wastewater. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in megaliters per day or similar unit), indicating a modest scale. Under UK regulations, which transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, small agglomerations like this typically require secondary treatment or equivalent to protect receiving waters. Regulatory compliance ensures appropriate treatment for the population served. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the River Witham or its tributaries, which flow into The Wash, a large estuary and bay on the North Sea coast. The Wash supports diverse aquatic life and is an important area for migratory birds. The plant's operations contribute to maintaining water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.

CONINGSBY STW discharges into local watercourses that feed into the River Witham, which flows into The Wash, a major estuary on England's east coast. The Wash is a shallow bay with extensive mudflats and salt marshes, supporting diverse bird populations and marine life. The plant's treatment helps protect this downstream environment from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
