Welcome to Cresswater Solutions

We are a solutions focussed company that specialises in the design and installation of natural ecological systems, using reed-beds, ponds and wetlands in a variety of combinations, to solve the many and diverse problems of sewage and wastewater treatment, of surface water run-off and site water management.

Our mission is to help people take responsibility for their waste using sustainable, natural, ecologically friendly systems, to demonstrate that wastewater is a resource and to protect our natural water resources.

Our quality service and extensive experience in providing sustainable, low maintenance, economic and ecologically friendly solutions, gained over the last 16 years, means we can offer proven designs and innovative solutions to meet our clients’ specific requirements.

We offer services in the following major categories:

• The treatment of sewage and a wide range of polluting wastewater effluents such as dirty-water, leachate, brewery effluent, etc..
• SUD systems for the attenuation and treatment of surface water run-off,
• The creation of landscaped natural, wildlife and ornamental ponds and water features,
• Rainwater harvesting and private water supplies,
• The creation of recyclable, secondary-use water resources,
• The management and treatment of all water resources on a site.

Over the last 15-20 years constructed wetland systems have gained in popularity and recognition and are being used increasingly to treat a huge range of wastewaters - from domestic sewage to the much stronger agricultural and industrial effluents - all to very high standards, and often where package treatment plants are incapable of producing an adequate solution.

We are not, however, committed exclusively to the use of reed-bed systems. Where appropriate or where space constraints prevent the use of a fully developed constructed wetland system, we will utilise modern technology and recommend the use of a suitable package mechanical treatment plant in conjunction with reed-beds or ponds or both.

We design and install systems that keep the process pathways simple, are cost- effective, have low maintenance and operational costs and have a long lifetime value.

“Water in the environment is like blood in the body: and ours is sick. The arteries and veins of our countryside, its rivers and wetlands, are suffering from the equivalent of low blood pressure and blood poisoning. The condition has developed over many years and treatment is now urgent” - Sir David Attenborough
