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,

We’ll be setting up temporary two-way traffic lights on Monday 10 June on the A688 to the north east of Barnard Castle, close to the junction with Town Pasture Lane. They will be in operation each day from 7am to 7pm and will be manually controlled to avoid traffic congestion.

The traffic lights will enable us to carry out preparatory work on this section of the road, ahead of the installation of the new pipeline which will eventually cross the road at this point.

The lights will keep road users, as well as our construction team safe while we’re doing this work and we expect to be finished by Friday 14 June 2024.

We’ll be working as quickly and as safely as possible and thank people for their patience while this essential work is happening. 

If you’d like to speak to a member of our project team, you can telephone our customer contact centre on 0345 717 1100 or tweet us on @nwater_care and we will be very happy to help you.

 

Kind regards

Karen Alexander
