WINEP Case study: Anglian Water

Advance WINEP surface water management

An example of innovative ways of working promoting a collaborative working environment.

The Advanced WINEP (A-WINEP) programme centres around the collaborative development and delivery of nature-based solutions for wider catchment benefits. This includes the installation of sustainable drainage systems (SuDs) and green infrastructure across target catchments (Southend and Caister, Great Yarmouth) to remove surface water from Anglian Water’s combined sewer system and reduce the number of overflow spills in the catchment. As a large-scale, sustainable water management scheme, it will improve flood resilience and water sustainability, whilst also providing social, environmental, and economic benefits, improving the public realm with the creation of green and blue hubs and corridors, and providing the public with access to nature.

An example of this approach is the Marine Parade Scheme, which will be delivered in partnership with the local Councils, building on existing relationships between the organisations. Shared support from Southend City Council and Anglian Water for nature-based solutions and green infrastructure will promote environmental resilience, and further the goals of the Council. This will create a more efficient and impactful programme of projects and maximise opportunities for urban regeneration, education and social prosperity.

Other Examples:

Alongside submitting WINEP options water companies were given the opportunity to propose innovative approaches through the A-WINEP. They aim to achieve better outcomes for customers, the environment and will inform approaches for future WINEPs.

Anglian Water, United Utilities, and South East Water have regulator approved A-WINEP actions within the WINEP.

Another example of an A-WINEP action includes United Utilities’ rainwater management project, utilising SuDs and green infrastructure to reduce rainwater entering the sewerage system to help reduce the impact of storm overflows from the sewer network.
