WELSH WATER AND WASTEWATER AMP6

The programme forms part of Welsh Water's capital expenditure programme for the regulatory period 2015-20 (AMP6). The individual schemes are located throughout the entire service area. The programme is mainly driven by EU directives as applicable to the water and wastewater sector as well as resource efficiency and adaptation of the systems and infrastructures to climate change and demographic growth.

The project comprises improvements to water supply and wastewater collection and treatment as part of the promoter's regulatory investment programme AMP 6 (Asset Management Plan 6). The AMP 6 Programme was approved by the economic regulator OFWAT in 2014 in order to support compliance with EU directives and stricter standards.

The programme includes improvements to water supply and wastewater collection and treatment as part of the promoter's regulatory investment programme AMP6 to support maintenance and improvement of compliance with the Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) and the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). Compliance with the EU and national environmental legislation and procedures will be examined during appraisal.
