Update by Joan Tatters

Good Morning,

Following on from Hedley's previous post I thought I just update you further.

Otterburn     -     We are currently decommisioning and removing the old building, althought it is taking a little longer than expected due to one or two constraints. An example being we have to hand remove any tiles from the building in case of bats nesting.

Rochester    -     This will be going into supply on 23rd, again it won't have any affect on your water supply or water pressure.

Byrness       -      We are awaiting the rigorous water quality testing results (they all have to go through), so completing the commissioning with transpire in the coming weeks. Admittled it's taking a little longer than normal due to supply issues but we will get there.

Once again I would just like to reiterate Hedley's comments, thank you so much for your co-operation and understanding during these projects it has been a long road and we are working our way tirelessly to the end.

Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

Joan
