GENERAL PROJECT

Chilton Lane Sewage Treatment Works upgrade

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant (ferric sulphate and sodium hydroxide) to enable the site to meet a revised Phosphorous discharge consent of 0.2 mg/l, which will apply from December 2024. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality. The improvement works will cost around £4.3m and is one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade.

Good afternoon,

Since our last update, the site team have been busy setting up our new compound area. The stone laydown area has been laid, and the site cabins have been delivered and are now up and running.

The area for the new Northern Power Grid (NPG) Kiosk has been dug out and ready to be stoned up in preparation for the concrete base to be poured. Once we return to work after the Christmas Break, the new kiosk will then be installed. The new access road area has also been dug out ready to be stoned up.

The site will be closing down for the Christmas break from Wednesday 20th December until Tuesday 2nd January.

On behalf of the project team, we hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
