Dist:0.3km<br/>...during August 2006 when the company played a key role in emergency works to South Staffordshire Water Plc’s Ashwood Pumping Station. Three turbidity failures due to iron had occurred at Ashwood, forcing South Staffordshire Water Plc to take emergency action... Quite a story, see http://www.modernutilitymanagement.com/article-page.php?contentid=2952&issueid=138
