The consultation period ends today at 23.59.

We would like to thank those who have already taken the time to attend one of our events and sent through feedback – we appreciate receiving the feedback from the local community and interested stakeholders which will help us to shape our proposals further before the next stage of statutory consultation.

There is still an opportunity to respond to the proposals – our revised proposals offer a split site approach, which means there is separate feedback form for each proposal:

• An upgrade to our existing water treatment works at Llwyn-onn.
• A new water treatment works on land in Merthyr Tydfil - Dan-y-Castell Farm, including a new raw water pumping station on our existing water treatment works at Pontsticill.

Details of the proposals and online feedback forms can be accessed online via our virtual consultation room: www.dwrcymru.com/cwmtafstrategy

Our Welsh Water van will also be outside Pontsticill Water Treatment Works on Monday 9^th September between 10.30-12.30 if anyone would like to speak to us about the proposals or drop in feedback forms.

If you have any queries about the proposals, please feel free to contact us on cwmtafproject@dwrcymru.com
