Afternoon All. Time for a Hexham STW Refurb update: We've completed the 'Dry' commissioning to prove all the new inlet works kit is operating. Unfortunately there's been a slight hiccup with the communication testing between site and the NWL network, so we'll have to have another attempt in a few days, once the issue is ironed out.  All the footpaths around the new inlet works are complete and we've just about done with the landdrains and landscaping. The new steel access platform to the filters is in place but needs some adjustment to the retractable ladders before it can be completed. The welding in the inlet screens tank should be complete in the next day or two and, providing a good water test, we can push on with the 'wet' commissioning and bringing the new inlet works into full operation. 'Wet' commissioniong is still planned for Monday 28th which will involve test all the new equipment under real waste water flows. The change over to the new 'intelligent' pumps in the settled sewage pumping station is underway and should be complete in the next couple of weeks. Thanks Dave Eden

Etherley Lane Environmental Improvement Project Morning all,  This week i have had the pleassure to speak to many of the residents in the area to discuss the upcoming environmental improvement project in the Etherley Lane vicinity. This work will help protect the environment and ensure that our sewer network continues to serve the community effectively. I can confirm that the improvement work is planned to commence on Monday 14th October 2024. Esh/Stantec will undertake this construction work which will comprise: Surface water separation within Barrington Meadows. 200m of new 225mm surface water sewer within Etherley Lane. The creation of additional surface water sewer and combined sewer capacity will reduce the impact of rainfall on the sewer network protecting the environment through the resulting reduction in Storm Overflow operation. The schematic which shows the proposal and working areas has been uploaded. We anticipate that our work will take up to 5 Months and a phased approach will be adopted with completion anticipated in April 2025 however, as with all civil engineering construction projects, unexpected delays can sometimes occur. I would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation while we complete this essential work. Thank you  Rachel
