The North Petherton project by Wessex Water, will add capacity for excess water after heavy rain.
The work at the water recycling centre at North Petherton is expected to take 10 monthsA £9.5m environmental project to enhance a county's river quality is beginning this month.
They will begin updating equipment used to treat arriving sewage and add capacity for excess water flowing through the system after heavy rain.The work will mean more than 800,000 litres of sewer water will be able to be housed in an underground tank. The added storage, housed below ground on land next to the centre, will keep more mixed rain runoff and wastewater in the tank at the centre before it is treated and safely returned to the environment later.Victoria Plummer, Wessex Water project manager said: "Upgrading the North Petherton centre means we can further enhance the way we store and treat wastewater before it is returned to the environment in Somerset.
It is one of a number of environmental improvement by Wessex Water with £25m being put into projects this year.
