Improving water quality
Preparing for storms at Sunny Bank, Bury to improve water quality in Parr Brook and River Roch.
Building the infrastructure Greater Manchester needs
Manchester is a trailblazer of innovation and cutting-edge technology - with the world’s first sludge activation process being trialled and tested at Davyhulme wastewater treatment works in the late 1800s.
We’re building on that heritage – accelerating investment across the county to build the infrastructure we need right now, and for the future.
This investment will give Greater Manchester the resilience it needs for the generations to come, safeguarding our river health and water supplies, attracting businesses and investment, creating jobs and building a stronger future for everyone in the county.
We’re working with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and other partners to make Greater Manchester the first city region to have an Integrated Water Management Plan.
Our infrastructure projects include:
Investing in Bolton
Constructing a network of storm water storage tunnels.
Investing in Stockport
£5.9million of investment to improve water quality in Stockport
Improving Oldham's river water
Plans announced to improve water quality in Oldham
