Just a quick update to the works at Bamburgh Road (Palmersville chippy) and the planned works going forward.

The Pressure Connections are now complete to the existing mains and we are now half way across the road installing a duct to sleeve the main through at a future date, we anticipate the works being completed in this area by Friday night for this visit, we will have to return in the future to install the new main through the grassed area.

Starting Next week west of Palmersville metro for 3 weeks we will be installing the next pahse of works, i have attached the advanced notice sign that has went out this morning on this, those affected at Kelvin Place and Roseberry Grange will have already received a direct letter drop through the door last Week.

I will update you further as the works proceed.

Good Afternoon

Just a brief update to confirm that yesterday we completed the final connection of our new pipework to the existing main within the estate, we are now today backfilling, surfacing and tidying the site, the machine & fencing etc will be removed tomorrow 17th january 2019 am before 10, all that remains is to final surface a section of path outside No.100 which will be done by our subcontractor in the next few days and seed the grass verge areas, this will be monitored over the next 3 months to ensure it takes to the standard it was before we arrived and can then be maintained by the grounds maintenance contractor for the estate thereafter.

I would like to thank everyone for their patience whilst we have been in this location.

Kind Regards

Good Morning

Just a brief update on our works at Miller Close Killingworth, it may appear that we aern't doing much on site but rest assured we have been completing pressure testing and chlorination of the main that we have installed, we are now in a position to carry out tuesday next week the connection of the New main to the existing in the footway adjacent the layby, this will result in a loss of water supply from 9 am for a brief time, thereafter we will complete the bakfill and final reinstatement works to the area.

You will be card dropped on this by Northumbrian water's local workgroup.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Kind Regard's

Happy New Year...

Just thought i'd provided a brief update, we have now recommenced the works at Miller Close Killingworth to expose the pipe ends ready for Chlorination and testing works next tuesday, once this is completed we will have to wait a period of a few days for the water sample results to be returned, we will be therefore looking to "tie in" this new pipework to the existing on Tuesday 15th January 2019 from 9am for a short window where the water supply will be turned off, cards will be posted by Northumbrian water in due course however we will keep you briefed on this nearer the time.

I trust you have had a great christmas and new year.
