The construction phase of this project is now complete.

GENERAL PROJECT

Kelloe Upgrade

Starting in Autumn 2022, as part of a £6.4 million scheme, we will be carrying out essential work to improve the performance of our wastewater treatment works in Kelloe. The scheme will help to improve the water quality of the Coxhoe Beck, as well as the watercourses downstream. We are yet to confirm an exact date when the works will commence, however this is likely to be early October 2022 to commence ground stabilisation works, however we will confirm this closer to the date.

Good afternoon,

Our crews received an unexpected visitor today on site.  Causing a little excitement, Daisy decided to pop in for a cuppa.

The lads were quick to investigate, calling Rachel to find Daisy's owner.  

Daisy has now returned home but she has an open invite to return for a catch up anytime.

Well done guys, great work as always.
