pumping

Heart failure occurs when damage prevents the heart from pumping blood well enough to supply the body with blood and nutrients.

Water flows with gravity in the aqueduct, making the supplies more economical than the city’s other imported sources, which require energy-intensive pumping.

But in that first five miles, it passes the Wessex Water sewage pumping station at Bowerhill Lodge.

Welsh Water apologised and said its Picton pumping station had been upgraded and spills cut.

The department has now expanded its monitoring to check for golden mussels, Veldhuizen said, and is also adopting other measures to protect pumping plants and reduce potential effects on water deliveries.
