GENERAL PROJECT

Longhorsley Sewage Treatment Works Upgrade

WE ARE INVESTING OVER £850,000 TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF OUR WASTEWATER TREATMENT AT LONGHORSLEY. THIS ESSENTIAL WORK WILL HELP TO IMPROVE THE WATER QUALITY OF THE LONGDIKE BURN FOR THE BENEFIT OF PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE AND ENSURE THAT THE TREATMENT FACILITY CONTINUES TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY EFFECTIVELY.

Update by Paul Davison

Good morning, apologies for the lack of updates, we have been busy completing the remaining mechanical and electrical work at site over the past couple of months but this has taken longer than originally planned due to various delays with sub-contractor availability and long lead in times on critical pieces of equipment.

The Good news is that with the refurbishment work now complete, we are now ready to commission the new plant which will improve the quality of treated effluent which discharges to the Long Dyke. If all goes to plan, we should complete the commissioning in the next two weeks and demobilise from site. A period of regular sampling and monitoring will follow but this will form part of our regular operational visits.

I’ll provide a further update on completion of the commissioning but for now, thanks again for your patience and cooperation while we’ve completed this important upgrade works at our site.
