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 afternoon everyone,

We wanted to update you on the situation regarding our ongoing closures.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges. Our team is committed to addressing the current delays and ensuring the project progresses smoothly.

First, with regards to signage, we have again installed replacement permanent waterproof signs, as those that we had put in place have repeatedly been removed by unknown third parties.

We will look to give an update next week on the current National Highway approvals required to progress works in this area, and on other questions posed, to ensure we can give a full response to your queries.

Best regards,

Anya
