The construction phase of this project is now complete.
There may still be updates, so the project will remain here. We are still monitoring the project and will reply to any comments. So if you have any questions please feel free to comment or contact us here.
We are investing £700k to improve the performance of our sewage treatment works at Bishopton. The work will involve an upgrade of the inlet system and flow monitoring. This will aid NWL in improving the quality of rivers and coastal waters for the benefit of people, the environment and wildlife.
Once construction work is underway, typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 8:00am and 5:00pm.
We have no plans to disrupt your water supply while we work this project.
There may be some dust, vibration and noise during the main construction works however this will be limited. Due to the remote location of the site, this isn’t anticipated to cause any direct disruption.
We will write to customers again prior to construction work commencing where we will be able to provide more detail. We will also keep our community portal updated with key information about progress. For notifications about project news, traffic information and progress updates please sign up to the community portal here. For information and advice please contact us on 0345 717 1100 or log onto www.nwl.co.uk to chat online or arrange for a call back from our project team to discuss any queries.
The existing site is well screened from the public highway / footpaths. While we will be installing new process treatment units, there will be no visual impact.
During the construction period, there may be dust, vibration and noise, however due to the remote location of the site, this should not affect any residents.
