GENERAL PROJECT

Fenham Service Reservoir

We are investing £2.2 million to improve the safety and resilience of Fenham Service Reservoir. Service Reservoirs form part of the company’s drinking water network, holding treated water ready to supply customers across the area. We are carrying out essential work on site which includes work to renew parts of the reservoir, including valves and penstocks, and is expected to take up to a year to complete.

Update by Bethany Oakley

Good morning all,

I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, I’m Colin Short, Northumbrian Water’s Project Manager and I’ll be looking after the Fenham Service Reservoir scheme through to its completion. The scheme will be delivered by Northumbrian Water’s delivery partner, Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB).

The majority of our work will be carried out within the covered service reservoir cells and the adjacent valve house within the site, but we do need to set up a temporary site compound and carry out some minor tree pruning, and access track improvement works within the site.

We do, however, need to carry out some survey/investigative works on our drains and chambers in West Road (near Fenham Cottage) so Traffic management will be required for these works, and also for various deliveries to the valve house.

The Team will post regular updates throughout our works. If you have any queries, please use the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of this page or add a comment on the post and a member of the Project Team will respond accordingly.

If you prefer a telephone conversation or require any further information or advice, please contact our Customer Centre on 0345 717 1100 or visit www.nwl.co.uk to request a call back from the project team.

Kind regards,

Colin Short
