EEL PROTECTION SCHEME

Ovingham Eel Screens

This project is to provide environmentally friendly fish exclusion screens at the raw water pumping station at Ovingham. These screens are necessary to protect the European Eel and other fish species that are present in the River Tyne. Work will commence April 2023 and anticipated to be complete March 2025

Good afternoon, All,

hope you are getting ready for the Autumn

Just thought I would touch base with an update of the works in your area.

You will be pleased to know that the drilling at Ovingham has now finished and the team are now working on making concrete bases for the new Eel screens that we are fitting. This will be their main job for the next few months.

We hope we are not causing any major disruptions while the works have been progressing and we thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or queries please leave a comment below or use the contact details provided and one of the team will get back to you.

Thank you

Julie
