Our water mains cleaning programme of works has been ongoing now for five years and to date, we have achieved 221km of cleaning works to our mains. There are a number of pipe sections that we still need to clean, with a total length of 9.0km. We are starting this work in August 2018 and anticipate completion in the Apri 2021.

Update by Kevin McGargle

Good Afternoon,

Just thought id give you a brief update on the works at Great Lime Road Killingworth as below:-

  • Today 23rd August 2019 at lunchtime we have removed the traffic management from outside of No. 42 Great Lime Road, this has now completed the works at this location, NWG operations will however need to attend and open the closed valve on the trunk main and flush the water main through the new washout point installed.
  • We also have to complete some minor works at the location of Woodlands Grange near the working mens club however we will update you further nearer the time on this matter.
  • A small section of antiskid surfacing is planned for 3rd September 2019 at 1-2 Kelvin Place, this should take only half a day to complete.

In the main the works that we started some months ago on this trunk mains Cleaning programme (October 2018 to be precise) to Great Lime Road are 99% complete, id like to thank you for your patience and understanding whilst carrying out this essential work to improve the water quality in the area and associated resilience of the clean water Network.

Kind Regards

Kevin McGargle
