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.

Good evening everyone,

Works within the Peareth Hall Road closure have progressed well since last week's update.

This week, a temporary pedestrian/cyclist access through the closure will be maintained from Tuesday to Thursday at peak times, between 07:45 - 09:15 & 15:00 - 16:15.

We plan to fully reopen the road and one of the footpaths this Friday evening, following on with restoring the second footpath soon afterwards.

We will continue to keep you regularly updated and thank you for your continued patience.

Richard Johnston

Project Manager
