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 Sarah Jayne Parvin

Hi everyone, just a quick update about the current works on site.

Starting July 1st, Thomas Street at Eighton Banks will be closed at the Galloping Green Lane junction for pipe laying (The front street, unmade road), the road will still be accessible via the south from Rockcliffe Way. We expect to be past this junction and at the rear of Thomas Street by July 29th, at which point Thomas Street will be reopened. During this time, our team will help with bin collections. Can we also ask that any parked vehicles are kept clear of this section of our work.

On our reservoir site we are still receiving deliveries of the precast walls and roof slabs.
Currently we are preparing for our next concrete pour which is planned for the 1st July.

The pipeline is still progressing over the past week we have laid approx 546m of pipe across our 3 sections.

Just a reminder Springwell road closure is approaching soon and will be from the 22nd of July for 4 weeks.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we progress with these essential enhancements. 
Should you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thanks
