Esh Winning Sewer

Northumbrian Water are working in your are to improve our sewer network to reduce the risk of pollution incidents in Esh Winning. The Esh Winning sewer runs in close proximity to the Priest Burn and, at times of heavy rainfall, it can present a risk of pollution to the river. The solution we identified to this includes the installation of a new pumping station in the field opposite South Terrace and a new pipeline along the main road into the sewage treatment works.

Update by Becky Gartland

Good morning all, 

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

A quick update for you all on how things progressed on site last week:

  • Installation of the perimeter fencing and main access gates continued and are expected to be completed within the coming days. 
  • Following the above, temporary perimeter field boundary fencing will be installed along with the access gate to the land surrounding the Pumping Station as well as the planting of shrubs and greenery to provide screening of the fencing. 
  • Ground reprofiling works were temporarily postponed last week due to the poor weather conditions saturating the ground, however this will recommence today and continue across the coming weeks. 
  • Further works were carried out on grouting the spring assisted covers within the Valve Chamber along with topsoiling operations within the surrounding footpaths. 
  • The final wearing course of the tarmac access road is due to take place next week. 

I will continue to keep you all updated of our progress and if you have any questions, please get in touch. 

Have a lovely week!

Thank you 

Becky
