Murton (Berwick) Water Treatment Works Upgrade

As part of our ongoing investment programme and to ensure the highest level of customer service, we are planning to extend and improve the existing Water Treatment Works at Murton, near Berwick. It is intended that the new works will be located adjacent to the existing buildings. The main construction work commenced in late 2018 and is due to complete in September 2020.

Update by Joan Tatters

Good Afternoon,

Once again a brief update as to where we are..................

At this challenging time we are and will continue to follow the UK Government guidance regarding COVID-19 as it stands, and we will continue to monitor the situation. We have had to work on site at a reduced scale to comply with the restrictions which undoubtedly will have a knock on affect on the completion date, but I will keep you up to speed in due course.

As a bit of a milestone, we took water into site from the Murton borehole for the first time yesterday to kick start commissioning which is great progress.

Next week removing of surplus materials from site next week will begin so there will be an increase of vehicles between site and the local farm so please be a little more vigilant. 

The site teams are adhering to the social distancing guidance and we ask that during this difficult time that you also maintain a social distance from our staff should you be in the vicinity of the treatment works during your allocated daily exercise.

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions about the project.

Stay safe and well
