River Parrett Dredging Project Wrapped Up

The River Parrett dredging program was successfully wrapped up last week.

This dredging program was funded by the Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) and carried out by the Environment Agency and its contractors Land & Water and Black and Veitch.

The contractors, Land & Water and Black and Veitch, have spent the past three months removing 13,000 cubic meters of material from a 750 m stretch of the Parrett between Northmoor Pumping Station and Linden Farm.

After the Environment Agency removed 130,000 cubic meters of material from an 8 km stretch of the Rivers Tone and Parrett around Burrowbridge, another important piece of work to reduce flood risk in the county has been completed.
