GENERAL PROJECT

CURRENT WEATHER

10°C

River Gaunless, Bishop Auckland

We are investing up to £9 million to improve Butterknowle, Cockfield and Ramshaw sewage treatment works. Starting in December 2018 and likely to continue to December 2019. These works will improve the quality of the water in the River Gaunless and will not involve any disruption to the wastewater service in the area. We would really like to hear any comments or questions you may have get in touch using the 'Contact us' button at the top of the page or leave a comment below. Dean Thompson NWL project manager

Good progress made this week at Cockfield sewage works. You can see in the photo the tertiary treatment slab taking shape. This is due for delivery early April

At Ramshaw sewage works we are close to completing installation of the pumping station. Please expect some traffic movement next week when we move the plant to Butterknowle.

Butterknowle water main installation has been an interesting start. We are directional drilling as much as possible to avoid excavation works. Ground is proving to be a challenge but we are making progress.

Enjoy your weekend. Hope the snow keeps away.

Many Thanks

Martin.
