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 Richard Johnston

Hello Everyone,

As indicated last week we will have a temporary safe pedestrian/cyclist route constructed through the road closure for the start of the new school term tomorrow, Thursday 5th September.

Whilst our pipelaying works continue in this area the temporary footpath will be operating on a peak time basis.

The safe access route will be open and monitored by our site staff from the morning of Thursday 5th September through the weekend (where our work will continue) into the evening of Monday 9th September, taking into account some of the comments we received, the access route will be available from 07:45 - 9:15 and again in the afternoon 15:00 - 16:15. The temporary footpath will not be accessible outside of these timescales.

We will update further on site progress next Monday on arrangements for the rest of the week.

Again, Thank you for your continued patience whilst we undertake these works.  

 

Richard Johnston
