About us

South West Water’s Plympton Wastewater Treatment Works is one of eight sites the company is opening to the public to go behind the scenes at next month during England’s largest celebration of culture and heritage – Heritage Open Days.

Join one of the two tours on Wednesday 18 September at 10am and 2pm to discover the large wastewater treatment works serving Plymouth and the surrounding area. Find out how sewage is treated to the highest standards using naturally occurring bacteria to clean the water.

Plympton Wastewater Treatment Works is located next to the A38 and serves the Plympton, Leigham, Estover and Efford area of Plymouth, and also receives flows from the newly developed Sherford, resulting in a population equivalent of 62,744.

Have a look and see what not to flush down the loo and put down the sink! This is a great opportunity to find out about how it all works from some knowledgeable South West Water operational staff.
