Springwell Enhancements Project

Northumbrian Water proposes to construct a new underground service reservoir on land it owns off Mount Lane, along with related pipe work in the local area, in a £56m project to commence Spring 2023, following preparatory work on site. The proposed project will not only make the water supply to customers in Springwell Village and the surrounding areas more secure, but will also enable us to support the wider Wearside and South Tyneside areas with a more reliable and resilient water supply for many years to come. The reservoir would strengthen and future-proof the company’s existing network in the area, providing storage for around 50,000 properties in South Tyneside. In addition the new reservoir will enable us to provide improved resilience to the water networks to the east of Springwell Village, benefiting a further 200,000 properties in South Tyneside and Wearside.

Update by Anya Lowes

We appreciate your patience and support as we continue with the Springwell Enhancements Project.

Here’s our latest update, including some adjustments to our schedule:

Reservoir Site Developments

The concrete pour at the Reservoir Site on the 9th of April went ahead as planned. Power floating extended into the afternoon of the 10th. Our next pour should be around 6 to 7 weeks from now. We will provide advance notice as the date approaches.

Mount Lane

Effective from last Monday, two-way traffic management was implemented on Mount Lane. Starting the 29th of April, there will be a full road closure to facilitate pipeline crossing. 

Pipe Delivery Delays

There has been a slight delay with our pipe deliveries initially scheduled for the 15th of April. Deliveries will now commence on the 24th of April. These deliveries will be taken to our A195 compound and Springwell road section. We are doing everything we can to minimise the impact on the community and appreciate your understanding.

 

Thank you once again for your cooperation and understanding. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or feedback, and stay tuned for further updates.

Warm regards,

Anya
