Good afternoon, All, As the dark mornings and nights draw in, I wanted to welcome you to your monthly portal update on the progress we have made here on Slaley treatment works, Good progress has been made on site this month, we have poured the concrete slab for the Soneco feed and installed the pipework upon this slab. We have also poured concrete steps to the where the Mecana unit (filtration system) will be situated. The site returns pumping station has been installed including, valve slab, pipework and ducting. Along with our subcontractors WCS, we have installed the Humus settlement tank which removes the smaller solids from the waste water, and are now underway with backfilling the tank. Works have also begun on the installation of the Primary settlement tank, which is used in the initial stages of treatment process it removes floating solids from the waste water. Prior to the Northern Powergrid mains upgrade, the treatment works will be temporarily running on generator power, however, these upgrades are due to be completed by the end of November. I would like to thank you once again for your continued support while the works on site continue.

Good afternoon, I thought now is the perfect time to update you on the 5 projects and how the teams are progressing. Moor Crescent/Barnard Avenue, Ludworth The team have been working on 1050 tank and although they have faced some challenges due to weather and uncharted services this is due to be completed by Friday 8 November. The sewer separation on Moor Crescent and Barnard Avenue is being worked on over the coming weeks. Pithouse Lane, West Rainton The work to install new manholes in the highway is now complete and the traffic management will be removed from 15:00pm today. Next week the team will begin work on preparing the new CSO, ready for installation over the coming weeks. Stanghow Road, Lingdale Over the last couple of weeks, the team have set up the main compound area ready for work to begin. They have also created a stone road on Stanghow Road to allow entrance into the working area. Next week the team will be working on surveying manholes and drainage. If you see them in the area why not say hello! Etherley Dene, Bishop Auckland Although the team are working hard in the background, you won’t see them working in the road for the next few weeks due to urgent third-party work in the area. We understand how busy the roads can be this time of year and didn’t think it practical to have two companies working so close together at once. As always, the team and I will keep you updated when our work progresses.   Finchale View, West Rainton Work on Finchale View will begin WC 04 November, over the next week the team will be setting up the compound area and bringing in the required materials for work to begin. Thank you for your time, have a great weekend! Rachel and Alice

Good afternoon everyone, We wanted to update you on the situation regarding our ongoing closures. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges. Our team is committed to addressing the current delays and ensuring the project progresses smoothly. First, with regards to signage, we have again installed replacement permanent waterproof signs, as those that we had put in place have repeatedly been removed by unknown third parties. We will look to give an update next week on the current National Highway approvals required to progress works in this area, and on other questions posed, to ensure we can give a full response to your queries. Best regards, Anya

Teesside Transfer – Important update on ongoing work in your area At Northumbrian Water, looking after the environment is one of our top priorities. As part of this commitment, we are working with our supply partner, Esh Stantec to streamline and add flexibility to our sewage treatment provision. The ongoing Teesside Transfer project will transfer wastewater from Longnewton & Goosebeck Sewage Treatment Works (STW) to Stressholme STW via a new pipeline to Middleton One Row before connecting to existing pipework for transfer to Stressholme STW. As part of the project, we will be installing a new section of sewer into our existing Middleton One Row facility. For the safety of road users and our site team, a section of the road on The Front / Aislaby Road will be closed for 7 days starting on Monday 11th November. Please follow diversion signs via A67 were appropriate. Please be assured that we are working closely with our partners to do all that we can to minimise any disruption to you and your community throughout the work. Typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 8.00am and 5.00pm.

Good morning, everyone As the darker mornings and nights settle in its time for another update on the progress at the Felton treatment works. This month we've seen steady advancements on-site, The primary settlement tank has succesffully passed water testing and is now being backfilled. This new tank will work along side the two existing tanks to remove larger solids and settleable organic matter from sewage at the initial stage of the wastewater treatment. Additionally, pipework to the HST's (Humus Settlement Tanks) has been upsized to allow greater flow through the works. We've also dug trial holes to provide our design team with valuable data for further planning in order to upgrade the works. Our electrician's have also started on site to undertake a full electrical refurbishment of the works. I want to extend my gratitude for your support and patience as we make improvements. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a message below or reach out using the contact details provided, and one of our team members will be happy to assist. Thank You Julie
