Northumbrian Water have committed to implement Water Quality monitoring at our highest priority Storm Overflow locations by 2025 to deliver River Pledge 4 contributing zero pollutions from our assets and operations.
Delivery of this non statutory River Pledge will consider the Environment Act 2021 section 82 duties for River Water Quality monitoring - an obligation that must be fulfilled by 2035 through PR24 and PR29 WINEP (Water Industry National Environment Programme). Based upon its current guidance NWL are seeking deployment of either a suitcase or kiosk monitoring solution being located up and down stream of our prioritized Storm Overflows.
Knowledge and experience gained through the delivery of River Pledge 4 will strategically inform the business on Defra guidance regarding the WINEP River Water Quality Monitoring delivery programme throughout AMP8 and AMP9 periods.

Deployment options:
o Suitcase - This option could be powered by solar and or battery and is implemented when there is no direct/easy access to fixed generation.
o Kiosk - A fixed option that will be fitted in a cabinet style and can be powered using a power source from a NWL owned asset, solar option and or fuel cell. This is the preferred option for locations with access to fixed generation.
The framework value is envisaged to be between £600,000 - £1,000,000
