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

Good afternoon all,
Due to recent poor weather conditions including the snowmelt there has been a noticeable deterioration of the ground in our site compound and access tracks, which has also affected the condition of Mount Lane  To address this we have scheduled work for Saturday 18th January, when our team will re-stone our compound and access tracks to improve the conditions.
To manage dirt on nearby roads, a full time road sweeper has been in operation. We have sourced a wheel wash system, which is expected to be delivered early next week and fully operational by the end of the week. This system will help reduce mud and dirt on roads around our compound and working areas. 
Over the weekend we will also have a few operatives working within the reservoir cells.
We remain focused on addressing these issues and improving conditions on site and in the surrounding areas. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue this work.

Thanks
