GENERAL PROJECT

Allendale Wastewater Treatment Works upgrade

Starting in March 2024, we will be carrying out works at our sewage treatment works (STW) in Allendale. This work is essential and part of a £4.4 million investment project. It will ensure the STW continues to meet the needs of a growing population and that we continue to deliver a reliable and resilient wastewater service for our customers.

Update by Julie Oakley

Good afternoon All,

I would firstly like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and I hope you all had a lovely Christmas,

This is the first update of 2025 for the Allendale treatment works, we have had a slow start to the year due to the weather conditions but we are back on course, we have now installed and backfilled the flowmeters which is a device that measures the flow rate of water into the treatment works along with the actuated valve chambers which is a structure that houses the valves that automatically manage's the water flow. We have also finished the installation of the Rotating biological contactor 1 (RBC1) and the covers, this is used in the process of the wastewater treament.  We have made the final connections to the Rotating biological contactor 2 (RBC2) and completed the concrete slab cast which will support the compressor.

I would like to once again thank you for all your co-operation and continued support, in the meantime if you have any questions or issues please feel free to leave a comment below or use the details provide to contact one of the team and er willbe happy to help.

thanks again

Julie
