Keeping the Harbour Clean

Ecoteric Sytems are instrumental in the environmental welfare of one of the Uk's most important eco sites. 

Maintained by Ecoteric Systems Ltd for Chichester Harbour Conservancy; the domestic reedbed sewage treatment system at Cobnor is the only one that exists in the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at present. 


The bed is in its early stages of development. All grey and sewage water will pass through a septic tank, where solids settle. The liquid then continues to flow through vertical reed beds and then through a horizontal reedbed swamp. 


The clean water may then be safely discharged into the harbour.
