The construction phase of this project is now complete.

There may still be updates, so the project will remain here. We are still monitoring the project and will reply to any comments. So if you have any questions please feel free to comment or contact us here.

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 

You may have seen Esh Stantec and Northumbrian Water in your area yesterday taking part in a litter pick around the village.

14 colleagues volunteered their time to litter pick the area surrounding Kelloe wastewater treatment works. The team of volunteers tidied up the roadside, woodland and walking routes and collected over 14 bags of rubbish.

If you see us again and want to join in let us know 

I hope you have a great week and enjoy the sunshine!

Good morning, 

I thought I would just pop on here to say thank you to the Lighthouse Club for spending time with our site teams on Thursday 27 April at Kelloe Sewerage Treatment Works. 

They shared their stories and the wonderful work both them and the company do for members of the construction industry. 

We are very grateful to have this level of support available to us and wish them all the best in their future work.
