The Vale of Glamorgan is located in the south of Wales and covers approximately 128 square miles, with a population of around 132,000. There are several rivers which flow through the Vale of Glamorgan, including: the River Thaw, which flows through Cowbridge and into the Bristol Channel, the River Ely, which runs through the eastern part of the Vale and into Cardiff Bay, and the River Ogmore, which forms part of the western boundary of the Vale.
As a business, Welsh Water has 16 wastewater treatment works, as well as 984km of sewers and 1020km water pipes to serve this county.
Over the next five years, we will be focusing on investing for the future. This includes continuing to improve resilience in our drinking water network as well as strengthening our efforts to protect and improve the local environment.
Every five years we prepare a regulatory business plan which is submitted to Ofwat as part of the Price Review process. The plans are based on customer views and cover our performance commitments, efficiency, investments, and bills. Below is an example of the work carried out in your area during the previous investment period 2020-2025.
We carried out work in Llanames to improve the way the wastewater network operates within the village and to help reduce the risk of internal sewer flooding in the area. We did this by sealing and relining sections of the waste network, using traditional sewer lining methods as well as an innovative technique which allowed us to minimise disruption to the wider community.
