II.2.1)Total quantity or scope:
We operate 40 impounding reservoirs, 66 water treatment works and supply an average 828 million litres of water every day through a network of 27 172 km of water mains, including 728 pumping stations and 645 service reservoirs. We also collect wastewater (and surface drainage) through a network of 18 478 km of sewers, incorporating 1 861 sewage pumping stations and 3 201 combined sewer overflows. This wastewater is treated at 833 Wastewater Treatment Works (WwTW). These works are located next to rivers and along the coast of Wales.
As part of the requirements of the Water Framework Directive (WFD), and the Priority Substances daughter Directive, the water industry instigated research to better understand the occurrence, the behaviour and the management of trace contaminants in the wastewater treatment process and its effluent. This Chemical Investigations Programme 1 (CIP1), which ran from 2010 to 2013, carried out a major investigation programme which included sampling and analysis.
The next stage of investigation will begin in April 2015 and for most water companies will run throughout the water industry’s Asset Management Plan 6 (AMP6).
For DCC this situation is slightly different in that, for our Chemical Investigations Programme 2 (CIP2), all our analytical work must be completed by 31.3.2017.
The programme of regulatory sampling and analysis between 2015 and 2017 is required in order to understand the impact of priority substances, priority hazardous substances, specific pollutants, emerging substances and pharmaceuticals from WwTW to the environment.
Project scope
The scope of this contract will be:
— provision of sample bottles;
— collection of CIP2 samples from sites in the DCC region and transportation to the operator’s laboratory for analysis;
— the analysis of CIP2 samples collected;
— reporting of CIP2 analytical results.
The sampling itself will be undertaken by DCC and so is not in the scope of this programme.
