GENERAL PROJECT

Wolsingham Sewage Treatment Works Refurbishment

Together with our supply partner Interserve we plan to carry out essential work at the Wolsingham Sewage Treatment Works in Weardale. This is a £6m investment that will see the site’s capacity increased in line with population growth in the area and help to maintain the highest possible standards of environmental protection. All of the work will be carried out within the existing site although there will be some widening of the entrance which will involve traffic control in the A689. Typical working hours will be Monday to Friday, between 8am and 6pm. We would really like to hear from you if you have any queries so please get in touch using the ‘Contact us’ button at the top of the page or leave a comment below. – Brian Ford NWL Project Manager.

Update by Brian Ford

Hi Everyone

We have now finished the works widening the site entrance on the A689 opposite Bradley Burn Farm Shop and all traffic management has been removed.  Thanks for your patience during these works.

The main works on the treatment works have started and we are currently setting up the site compound which will be home to Interserve for the next year.

We are carrying out these essential works to give the sewage treatment works more resilience. 

We will of course follow UK Government guidance regarding COVID-19 as it stands currently.  We are committed to the safeguarding and wellbeing of our employees and our customers and the site teams are adhering to the social distancing guidance and we ask that during this difficult time that you also maintain a social distance from our staff should you come into contact with them.

Don't forget should you wish to ask any questions please feel free to drop me a line.

Please stay safe.
