GENERAL PROJECT

Aldbrough St John Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we are investing £3.5 million to improve our treatment provision at Aldbrough sewage treatment works to improve the quality of effluent discharging to Aldbrough Beck and meet the demands of an increasing population in the wider catchment. The upgrade work will include the construction / installation of new inlet screens, primary settlement and storm treatment along with associated mechanical and electrical refurbishment. Our sewage treatment works aid NWL in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.

Update by Bethany Oakley

Good morning everyone,

Happy Monday. I hope you’re all well and settling into 2025.

The Team on Site have made some great progress this last month so far so I wanted to share this with you:

We have powered up the new MCC on the 2nd of January, when we returned after the Christmas break and this week, we successfully turned a flow through our works meeting our programme date.  

The flows now run through the new Inlet Screen, Balance Tank, Primary Settlement Tank and Syphon Chamber before being distributed on the Filter by the new distributor arms and the improvements we have made mean the works can now treat more sewage before a spill to storm occurs.

The next stage for us is to convert the existing Primary Settlement Tanks into Storm Tanks to increase the Storm water storage capacity of the works.

Ad you can see, this is a great start to the year for sure.

If you have any questions that you’d like to ask us regarding the works, then please don’t hesitate to add a comment in the box below and a member of the Project Team will respond as soon as possible.

Take care and speak soon,

Bethany
