Good afternoon,

Following our work to replace a sewage main within the area the good news is that we have completed the replacement work which has included:

The installation of around 400 metres of new sewer pipe from Sharpness Point Sewage Pumping Station to Percy Park.
The installation of a new flow meter at the Sewage Pumping Station.
Concrete installed in the Pumping Station chamber for the connection of the new pipe and the rearrangement of the pipework inside.
Demolition of the existing air valve chamber in Percy Park, construction of a new chamber and the installation of a new air valve.

We have completed all construction work and commissioned the new pipe but there are some reinstatement areas we will return to complete.

A permanent tarmac reinstatement of the trenches within the roads is planned to be completed in November 2022. Grass seeding in Percy Park (where the site compound was located) and the working area around the Pumping Station at Sharpness Point will be completed and re-checked in Spring 2023.

Please contact us direct if you have any questions at nwl.customer@esh.uk.com or 0191 3774500.

Thank you

Rachel
