Waren Mill

Construct new underground pumping station near centre of village. Install pumped rising main to reach new treatment lagoons approx’ 250m west of Budle Bay Campsite. Lay new gravity main discharging treated flows downhill past the new pumping station to a new Outfall near to the river mouth. Reconfigure other local sewers to re-direct flows to the new Pumping Station. Abandon the existing treatment works close to the Old Mill, make safe and tarmac over.

Good Afternoon

As you may be aware we have been working with our partner Mott MacDonald Bentley to replace the existing sewerage treatment works at Waren Mill as the existing works, which is in front of The Mill does not meet current requirements. Although we will still have work to complete up at the new lagoons during the Autumn months, I want to let you know about the last two items of work remaining in the village which we hope to complete in September.

We have installed a new kiosk, adjacent to the old road bridge, which houses the controls and timers for the new pumping station. The new kiosk is slightly larger than the old one and in a revised position so we are intending to hide this from view as best we can by erecting a trellis near the rear and the short gable end of the kiosk (the end facing the road). To this we will add an evergreen creeper, with the aim of naturalising its appearance.

Secondly we will be resurfacing a section of the B1342 immediately south of the T- junction. This will require a closure agreement for a section of road from 15 September 2019 for five days. The latter is a statutory document, however we do NOT anticipate that this straightforward operation will require four or five days. Following completion of these two items of work our presence in the village will cease, save for the following.

During a storm a couple of months ago, part of the reinstated riverbank downstream of the Road Bridge was damaged by the torrent. We are in consultation with the relevant authorities regarding how the repairs will be carried out, which will require short term access using plant machinery, however the date for the necessary approvals remain to be confirmed.

I would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during the work and if you do have any questions please telephone our Customer Contact Centre on 0345 717 1100 to speak to a member of our project team.
