GENERAL PROJECT

Slaley WINEP P & Improvements

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing a new chemical dosing plant (electro coagulation) and replacing parts of the existing treatment process to enable the site to meet the forthcoming phosphorous discharge consent of 0.7 mg/l, which will apply from December 2024. The improvement works will cost £5M and is one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality.

Update by Julie Oakley

Good morning All,

I hope you are all enjoying the lighter nights and looking forward to half term.

Its that time of month again to provide you with an update on the works here at Slaley, we have made great progress over the past month with the installation of concrete walkways for easy access around the site, we have also completed the insulation and trace heating on most of the pipework, this is to prevent heat loss, condensation and freezing of the pipes on site, as well as installing the humus de-sludge tank, this will now allow us to effectively treat the sludge which collects at the base of the humus settlement tank.

I would like to thank you for your patience while the works continue. In the meantime if you have any concerns please leave a comment below or use the contact details provided to get in touch.

thanks

Julie
