Southern Water says more than 8 million pounds of water improvement works at the River Rother have now been completed.
The project to improve South Harting Wastewater Treatment Works involved increasing the amount of flows the works can treat by 140 per cent.
It also involved installing new equipment on the site to improve water quality by ensuring the works could remove more phosphorus from wastewater.
Project Manager for Southern Water, Alex Lamm, said: “We know how important it is to protect and enhance water quality and our precious environment across the areas we serve. These vital improvements at South Harting add to the other investments we’ve made in West Sussex.”
The work was carried out by contractor GTb who are supporting Southern Water on a number of other key projects to treatment sites across its region.
Andrew Dredge, Project Manager for GTb, added: “We are pleased to have completed this project in South Harting to help improve the River Rother’s water quality and meet new Environment Agency targets. We’d like to say a huge thank you to those residents living near to the works for their patience while we carried out this essential upgrade work.
