GENERAL PROJECT

West Hallington Reservoir Improvements

In order to maintain the safe operation of West Hallington reservoir there are works required to ensure the continued resilience of the asset in order to be compliant with the requirements of the Reservoir Act. In order to do this, it is necessary to carry out works to improve the drawdown capacity of the reservoir which will require construction activity from May 2022 until the end of July 2023. This will result in restrictions to access around the reservoir crest and an increase in construction traffic during this period.

Update by Julie Oakley

Good morning,

I'd just like to start this update by introducing myself! My name is Julie Oakley, I am the new Customer Liaison Officer for MMB taking over from Joan and will be conducting the engagement with our customers and posting regular updates going forward!

Since our last update and after all the wet and cold weather we have made great progress on the reservoir and nearing the end of our project, up to now we have completed the stone works/gabion baskets, installed the crest chamber cover, backfilled around the discharge chamber, kiosk has been installed, the portadam removed, all pipework is in and has been pressure tested.

I have been out and about around the village of Collwell hand delivering letters, I have also placed a leaflet in the notice board located at the local bus stop to advise of the commissioning of the siphon in early to mid-January and the potential impact it will have, if you have any concerns or queries please do not hesitate in contacting us or leave a comment below.

From all of us at Northumbrian Water & MMB we wish you a very
