Morning all,

The new booster is working well and doing a good job at managing and stabilising the pressure in Great Ayton.

However, we have discovered a small glitch behind the scenes that means we need to make a small change. This change will mean taking the new booster offline and running on the old one for a day next week, Wednesday 2nd August. You may see a small fluctuation in pressures during the change over from new to old and then back again. The work should be complete within the day and then we will leave the new one running for a few more weeks before we start the removal of the old station.

You should receive a text message informing you of this work before we start,

Best regards,

Simon.

A quick update on progress, the new booster was brought online on Tuesday, thank you to everyone involved. I know we warned residents there may be fluctuations in pressure during this work and I hope we didn't affect the water pressure to much! We will now rely on the new booster for a period of time to get confidence its operation, and once proven we will start to decommission the old booster.

Thank you for your patience during this work as I know we have faced a few obstacles and delays getting to this point,

I hope you have an enjoyable weekend,

Many thank,

Simon.

Good afternoon Everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know we are looking at Tuesday 4th July to turn the flows over to the new booster. You should receive an automated text message, even on land lines the day before, Monday 3rd , notify you may see a fluctuation in your pressure on the Tuesday.

Fingers crossed all goes well, but we can revert back to the old station should anything untoward happen.

Here’s to Tuesday! Thanks for your patience,

Simon

The meter has finally been fitted at Great Ayton, apologies for the delay it has taken to get to this stage.

We are now in discussions to agree a date, ideally for next week, to arrange the turning on of the new station and running it for a proving period before we look to remove the old station.

Morning,

Apologies for the delay, but it seems we have finally got a date for the meter install at Great Ayton, currently planned in for the 7th June. Once installed we will look to run the new station and when all is ok then start to remove the old station.

Enjoy the long weekend,

Regards,

Simon

Afternoon all,

Just a quick update as you may have seen the site has become a lot quieter over the last week.

We have done as much as we can at present, but we are not yet running on the new pumps. We are waiting for a new electricity meter to be fitted. I have chased them again today and when this is installed, we are ready to switch the new booster on and supply your water from it. The plan is still to have the old station available to fall back onto until we are confident the new station is running the way we want it to!

I will post an update once I have some firmed up dates,

Thanks Simon.

Afternoon all,

Just another update on the progress we have made on the install of the new booster. The station has been sited, connected up and commissioned, this was all done on a temporary power supply. We are just now arranging a date for the meter to be installed then we can turn the flows and bring the new booster online.

I will let you know when this has been done,

Thank you for your patience,

Simon.

Morning all,

Just an update on the install of the new water booster.

It was sited yesterday and connected up but is not currently in service.

Today we are getting the new power supply installed and continuing to set the new booster up offline.

Tomorrow, we plan to commission the booster and make sure it’s ready to be switched on.

We then plan to till wait till next week to being the new booster online and monitor its operation, so we don't cause any issues over the weekend. We will still be able to revert to the old one if we have any issues.

A couple of photos below of the new booster internally (not connected up) and externally (the smaller green box is only temporary and will be removed once we are complete).

Morning all,

Pleased to say the new water booster passed its factory acceptance test yesterday and is now being prepared to be transported to site next week.

Final hurdle tomorrow as the new water booster will be given it's Factory Acceptance Test. Should it pass, it will be ready to deliver to site, which is planned for Tuesday 14th February 🤞
