WATER NETWORK IMPROVEMENT

Project Pipeline: County Durham and Tees Valley

This work will boost the resilience of supply links between our reservoirs and treatment works in Teesdale, and parts of central and southern County Durham. Our investment will increase reliability, reduce leakage and provide high quality drinking water for customers for decades to come. This phase of the project - Phase 1 - will construct a new replacement pipeline from Lartington Water Treatment Works to Gainford and a new strategic transfer main between Whorley Hill SR and Shildon SR.

Update by Karen Alexander

Good afternoon,

Members of our team spent a sunny Saturday morning last weekend supporting a charity run organised by the people of Cotherstone. Monies raised were to be divided between Pancreatic Cancer Research and the North East Air Ambulance.

Following discussions with the organisers, we agreed to donate a digital clock/timer which they could use every year, as well as supplying and making available other items on loan, such as hi viz jackets for the marshals.  Our team members also both volunteered at the event and took part in the 5k run, along with their families.

The village of Cotherstone is very close to one of the shafts we’re sinking, to build the tunnel beneath the river Tees.  Community engagement activities such as this are a key part of the Farrans social value commitment, where we look to build a positive and trusting relationship with people and lasting impact in the areas where we work.

 

Kind regards

Karen Alexander
