✦ Synopsis

In April 2000 the expansion and updating of Dwr Cymru Welsh Water's Nash wastewater treatment works was completed. On the banks of the River Usk, a tributary of the Severn, Nash will now serve the whole of Newport, courtesy of a new tunnel and pipeline, for the western half of the town. The project is of vital importance to Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, whose aim is to improve the coastline of the Severn Estuary between Chepstow and Newport. It represents a total investment of some £89 million and will eventually take wastewater not only from the population that borders the River Usk but also, via another pipeline, from Chepstow's coastal strip.
