Budds Farm Wastewater Treatment Works, Southern Water sewage treatment plant on Langstone Harbour near Havant, Hampshire, England, UK

---

Budds Farm Wastewater Treatment Works treats the wastewater from homes across Portsmouth, Havant, Hayling Island, Cosham, Paulsgrove, Waterlooville, Horndean and Hambledon. In 2007, Southern Water made further improvements at Budds Farm to enhance the wastewater treatment at the site. It is one of only two sites in the UK incorporating a four-stage Bardenpho Process for biological nutrient removal. The removal of nutrients such as nitrogen helps to reduce algal blooms forming in coastal waters. These blooms may reduce the amount of oxygen in the water and can smother other creatures, leading to a reduced food source for important birdlife in the harbour. This level of treatment ensures the site meets stringent European Union legislation for seawater quality
