- James
Cropper PLC manages Kentmere Reservoir, which lies at the head of the
River Kent. This can be used to regulate the flow in the river.
- 1 million gallons/ 4,545 cubic metres of water are abstracted
from the River Kent each working day.
- 10 million gallons/ 45,454 cubic metres of water are re-cycled
every working day.
- 1 million gallons/ 4,545cubic metres of water effluent are discharged
to the Effluent De-watering Plant (EDP) per working day.
- Papermaking fibres recovered from
water effluent in the form of “sludge”.
- A study is to be undertaken into the
feasibility of the Group cleaning its water effluent, thus allowing
the Group to discharge its cleaned water directly into the River
Kent. This would sever the Group’s
dependency on United Utilities PLC.
