GENERAL PROJECT

Fontburn Lime Dosing

Northumbrian Water is investing £3 million to upgrade the Water Treatment Works at Fontburn to make sure you continue to receive excellent quality tap water in the future. The work, which will commence from early March 2020 will see upgrades to the facilities and water treatment equipment within the site and we aim to complete this by September 2020. Northumbrian Water’s trusted partner, Interserve Construction Limited will be carrying out this work on our behalf. Residents may notice an increase of vehicular traffic to and from the site whilst deliveries are made although we will of course do all we can to keep the disruption to a minimum. Please be assured that your water supply will not be affected by these works. Glyn Jenkins NWL Project Manager

Hello everyone. In this update, I want to share the good progress our site teams have made on mechanical, civils, commissioning and steelwork operations at a number of locations on site.

We have installed the pre-lime kiosk, mixer tanks and the compressor. Our teams have substantially completed the mechanical and electrical connections to the new equipment.

We are progressing with commissioning the load cells beneath the lime silo and the mixer tanks. We have also commissioned the new compressor.

Our civils team is continuing with the civils and infrastructure work at the site perimeter.

We have fabricated the steelwork and will start to install the steelwork in the post-lime lime chamber. Our site teams are working on several fronts and are making good progress.
