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 morning, everyone

As the darker mornings and nights settle in its time for another update on the progress at the Felton treatment works.

This month we've seen steady advancements on-site, The primary settlement tank has succesffully passed water testing and is now being backfilled. This new tank will work along side the two existing tanks to remove larger solids and settleable organic matter from sewage at the initial stage of the wastewater treatment. Additionally, pipework to the HST's (Humus Settlement Tanks) has been upsized to allow greater flow through the works. We've also dug trial holes to provide our design team with valuable data for further planning in order to upgrade the works. Our electrician's have also started on site to undertake a full electrical refurbishment of the works.

I want to extend my gratitude for your support and patience as we make improvements. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a message below or reach out using the contact details provided, and one of our team members will be happy to assist.

Thank You

Julie
