Whitton Village Sewer Diversion

Northumbrian Water is looking to investing £2M to improve the resilience and enhance the performance of the sewer network in Whitton Village Northumberland.

Update by Sarah Jayne Parvin

Good Afternoon all,

We are making great progress, the Rising Main installation works now complete from Silverton Lane, over fields, through village and down Whitton Bank to pumping station location.

Preparation work has commenced and will continue through to the end of next week, to install the gravity sewer in Silverton Lane which will then connect into the existing network in Murray Gardens. The preparations include the relocation of some small tree’s, creation of an access gate, removal of the topsoil and delivering plant on site. On the 20th July we will then make a start on the drilling that starts in Murray Gardens.

The sewer installation will continue into Silverton Lane, which will be closed for up to 6 weeks. This is due to start around 5th August, the diversionary routes will be signposted. Resident’s access will be maintained to the properties within the road closure off Silverton Lane.

Also, the sheet piling contractor have installed a piled retaining wall at Sewage Pumping Station location, piles cropped to Whitton Bank profile, see picture below.

As works progress every effort will be made to keep the disruption to a minimum.

I have attached some photos for you to view.

I would like to thank you again for your continued cooperation while we complete this essential work.

Thanks

Sarah
