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.
We're excited to announce that we are less than a year away from completing the construction of a new reservoir and a 5.5 km pipeline that will extend from Springwell Village to Washington. This video will provide you with a glimpse of what the finished project will look like and showcase our carefully planned planting regime.
MMB’s environmental specialist Drew and Northumbrian Waters ecological team leader Stuart will walk you through the final vision. The video will share with you the types of trees and plants that will be part of the new greenery, enhancing the natural beauty and biodiversity of your community.
