RAINWISE SCHEME

Monks Wood, North Shields Surface Attenuation

We are currently on site adjacent to Beach Road. Our scheme is to separate surface water flows from the combined sewerage system and store the excessive flows during storms. To do this, we are constructing new surface water and combined sewers together with a series of cascading basins in which to hold back the flows until the storm subsides and the existing sewerage system can accept the storm water.

Update by Christine Taylor

Hi everyone,

Following our customer event back in February, we just wanted to give all our customer a quick update.

We have taken the views of our customers onboard from the meeting and subsequent communications, and we are investigating which of the proposals we can use to amend our scheme.

When we have finalised the design we will be back in touch willl all our customers, to ensure you are all kept informed.

Please free to comment if you require any further information.

Thank you for your paitence.

Enjoy the bank holiday and the great weather we have been promised :-)
