REDWICK STW Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bristol, England

REDWICK STW is a wastewater treatment facility located in Bristol, England, serving a population of approximately 3,920. The plant is situated near the Severn Estuary, a major coastal feature in the region. As a secondary treatment plant, it provides biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids from wastewater before discharge. The plant operates under the UK's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 12,624 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 872.73 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the Severn Estuary, which is part of the Bristol Channel and ultimately flows into the Celtic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The estuary supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The plant's coastal location requires careful management to protect the sensitive marine environment.
