Good morning all,

Just an update following our customer visit on the 11th January 2023 and developments since then,

We now have a revised draft programme for the install of the booster following the delays before Christmas.

We are planning to install the new booster starting week commencing Monday 13th February 2023. The work is likely to take approximately a week to install and test, once compete we will run on the new booster for a period to prove it works fine and we get confidence in its operation. We will then look to remove the old one (which we will still be able to revert back to if we experience any problems during the proving period.)

There is a possibility you will see a few fluctuations in your water pressure during this period but we will be trying our best to keep this risk to the bare minimum.

You may see activity on site before these dates while we prepare the site for the works, and I will confirm once these dates are set in stone.

Morning,

Really sorry to be the bearer of bad news again, we have had an issue with one of the components in the new booster during its final testing before being shipped to site.

I have delayed posting this until we had some idea of timescale to correct the situation. Unfortunately, we are now looking at the beginning of March due to the lead time for the replacement equipment.

We are working closely with the supplier to make sure we achieve this revised date,

with regret,

Simon.

Good Morning,

The latest stage for the new booster was completed yesterday, the new transformer (power suppply) was installed by Northern Powergrid and all went really well.

Many thanks to all involved.

Morning,

Some good news and some bad news!

Good news, progress continues to be made on the construction of the booster, please see below. We have also started on site with the new plinth that the booster will be placed upon. We have a date agreed with Northern Powergrid to install the new transformer needed to power and run the new booster, this will take place wc 31st October.

Bad news is that there has been a delay in one of the elements for the new water booster. These are now expected to be deliverd the beginning of November meaning the booster will not be ready to install until wc 21st November. we are really sorry for this delay but the delivery delay is out of our control.

Hope you have a good weekend,

Thank you Simon.

Morning all,

Still on track to start the install at the end of the month, some photo's of the new booster in construction.

Morning all,

An update on the project following further discussions with Northen Powergrid (NPG). The power issue is resolved and we have paid for the required upgrade and awaiting a date from NPG, I am awaiting an update from the booster manufacturer on when the booster will be completed. I will post a firmed up timeline once I have this information.

We are planning on meeting the residents again in May,

Have a good weekend, cheers

Simon.

Morning,

 A quick update following discussions with Northern Powergrid. The upgrade required doesn’t seem to be an issue, however, before they can commit there are a few more checks they need to carry out before confirming this. There is also an issue with a third party who also needs access to the same transformer.

As you can tell things are moving forward but I don’t have any firm dates as yet, but will keep you all informed of progress and dates as thing develop.

Good morning and sorry no photo's this time.

A quick update following another good catch up with the residents yesterday. You will have seen from my last update, and possibly passing the site, that we have been carrying out some exploratory works at the site. These have gone well, and we now understand how we will tie the new station in when the time comes.

We have found an issue with the power supply, and we are working through this with Northern Powergrid, our service provider. Once I have update from them, I will make another with an amended completion date as this issue does affect the end date.

Happy New Year,

I know it looks like nothing has been going on as there has been no activity on site, but the wheels have been turning behind the scenes.

We have started on site this week, as you can see, we are carrying out investigative works to make sure we can install and connect the new booster with the least amount of disruption to you! Don’t worry, we will inform you well in advance when this will be!

You will continue to see activity over the next couple of months as we work towards the arrival of the new booster. We have encountered a minor issue, which we are working through, and I will update you once this is resolved.
