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,

Can you believe its October

I thought I would give you an update on how we are getting on with the upgrade of the treatment works here at Felton

We are pleased to report significant progress on site. We have completed the final concrete pour on the tank walls of the Primary settlement tank (PST) and we are finalizing the structural elements of the new tank. The storm overflow line which is an outlet from the public sewer has also been completed, with just a few finishing touches remaining, including the installation of an Overflow Monitoring Device (OMD) and its concrete surround, this provides a robust and consistent way of monitoring how often and for how long storm overflows are used. The new Motor Control Centre (MCC) has been installed by our subcontractor, Blackburn Starling, and we are now ready to begin the electrical work.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as the project moves forward. Thank you for your continued support and patience!

If you have any questions or issues please leave a comment below or use the details provided to contact us and one of the team will get back to you.

Thanks again

Julie
