GENERAL PROJECT

Felton Wastewater Treatment Works upgrade

Starting in March 2024, we will be carrying out works at our sewage treatment works (STW) in Felton. This work is essential and part of a £5million 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 hope you are all enjoying the summer break,

Its been a few weeks since I have published on the portal so I thought I would give you an update on the progress we have made onsite, the Primary Settlement Tank (PST) concrete pours have been undertaken to the hopper which is a type of funnel at the bottom of the centre of the tank and a foundation for the precast concrete wall units. A Primary Settlement Tank (PST) is a crucial component in the wastewater treatment process, the tank is designed to remove suspended solids, organic matter, and other particulates from wastewater before it undergoes further treatment. We have also started the installation of the new duct network which is continuing and modifications are being undertaken to the existing garage for new Motor Control Centre (MCC) installation.

I would like to thank you all for your continued support and patience while the works are carried out, if you have any queries or questions please leave a message below or contact us using the details provided and one of the team will get back to you.

thanks

Julie
