Case Studies

Knowle Village, Hampshire

In July 2009, Albion pioneered an innovative water services solution at Knowle Village near Fareham in Hampshire. Working in partnership with the developer Berkeley Homes, water industry regulators and local residents, Albion secured an inset appointment to provide sewerage services to the village which not only set prices below that of the local monopoly provider, but maximised the use of existing assets, minimised the carbon footprint and enhanced the site’s bio-diversity.

Albion Water has now embarked on a major investment programme within this community-based solution to improve the sewerage infrastructure and reliability for Knowle’s domestic and commercial customers.

Your residential development

The Knowle model is now tried and tested and offers a practical way forward for domestic or commercial developers seeking a sustainable solution which avoids a high capex, high carbon connection to local water, sewerage or storm water infrastructure.

Shotton Paper Mill

Albion Water has been delivering a bulk supply of potable and non-potable water to Shotton Paper, UPM Kymmene’s state-of-the-art newsprint plant in Wales, since 1999.

To date it has now supplied over 65 million cubic metres of water to the mill (enough to fill 26,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools). This innovative supply contract continues to offer significant efficiency gains, a more flexible pricing and delivery structure and the prospect of significant carbon savings to meet the mill’s evolving supply and production objectives.

The provision of inset appointments such as the one at Shotton Paper, demonstrates that Albion Water has the experience and track record to offer equally innovative and cost-effective water-based solutions to other non-domestic customers throughout England and Wales.
