Murton Flooding

Together with our supply partner, ESH-MWH, we have undertaken a detailed study of the sewer network to establish the cause of flooding in the area. We want to keep you informed about our investigations and work we are considering in the Woods Terrace area.

Update by Christine Taylor

Hi all

I want to thank those who attended the meeting at Ribbon Community Primary School the other night to discuss the next phase of work at Stephens Road.  It was lovely to see you all.

I thought it would be great to let you all know what is happening in the next phase so I have taken some information from the letter that was distributed in the area, please see below.

Together with our supply partner, ESH-MWH, Nothumbrian Water plan to carry out over £2 million of investment work between Monday 3 July 2017 and Thursday 31 May 2018. This essential work will be carried out in Stephens Road, Wellfield Road, Gowland Square and the wooded area to the north of Wetherburn Avenue.

The work will include the upsizing of existing sewers and the laying of new sewers. All these works, when completed, will be below ground with only manhole covers in the highways left visible.

Typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 8.00am and 6.00pm. While weekend working is not envisaged, it may become necessary however, any customers directly affected will be consulted prior to any planned weekend working.

During this work, construction traffic will need access to all working areas and to our temporary site compound which will be located in the wooded area to the north of Webb Avenue.

We are working closely with Durham County Council to make sure any disruption is kept to a minimum.

Over the next couple of weeks we will be tidying up the area of Woods Terrace and moving along.  We will be keeping you informed of our progress.

See you all soon

Christine
