Stonbury’s Rapid Response Team Restores Safe Drinking Water To 12,000 Welsh Residents
In a demonstration of exceptional emergency response capabilities, Stonbury, a leading water infrastructure specialist, successfully restored safe drinking water access to 12,000 residents in Tynywaun following severe weather-related contamination.
What began as routine maintenance work on a twin-cell Final Water Tank quickly escalated into an emergency situation when extreme weather conditions, including heavy snowfall and rainfall, led to severe flooding and tank contamination. The incident prompted a boil water notice affecting 5,000 homes in the region.
In response to this crisis, Stonbury demonstrated its operational resilience by:
- Mobilising multiple specialist teams from across the UK and Wales
- Implementing 24/7 emergency support operations
- Executing critical reactive works on both tank cells
- Installing waterproof membranes to prevent future contamination
- Completing all works under challenging weather conditions
The successful resolution of this crisis led to the swift lifting of the boil water notice, restoring normal water service to all affected households. In recognition of their outstanding performance, the teams involved were named Water Programme Reactive Team of the Month by the client in January 2025.
