Welsh Water says it will help reduce phosphate levels in the river, benefiting aquatic life.
Welsh Water said the improvements in Herefordshire were part of a wider investment planWelsh Water said it would introduce new processes at Kingstone in Herefordshire, to remove phosphates from treated wastewater.The River Wye in Herefordshire has seen excessive algae growth, which campaigners say is often caused by high phosphate levels in the water.
Welsh Water said the work formed part of a £836m investment in the waste water infrastructure by 2025. It said reducing the amount of phosphates in treated water would help reduce levels in the nearby River Wye, which would benefit the river and its aquatic life.Welsh Water's senior project manager Daniel Purchase said: "There are a number of factors which contribute to phosphate levels in watercourses, and we are committed to ensuring we do all that we can to keep our contribution to the absolute minimum.
Campaigners have raised concerns about levels of pollution in the river, thought to be impacted by methods of farming and sewage disposal.
