Wooler Water Treatment Works

As part of our ongoing investment programme and to ensure the highest level of customer service, we are constructing a new Water Treatment Works (WTW) at Wooler, Northumberland. The new WTW is located in the town of Wooler, at a site opposite Berwick Road Industrial Estate . The main construction phase commenced in summer 2020 and was substantially completed in autumn 2021. Final commissioning to bring the new WTW into service is currently scheduled to run through until autumn 2022.

Update by Joan Tatters

Morning All,

Sorry I didn't get an update on last week I was on holiday, however here we go for this week:-

Treatment Building          -         You will have seen the steel frame is shooting up and the roof is almost complete. All the grouting is complete to the column work and the bricklayers have started the block work.

Contact Tank                    -         The team are just doing the finishing touches to the upstand and the security covers are just about complete. The subbies are now preparing the water proofing..

WW Settlement Tank       -          Now in a position to start filling it with water for testing.

Industrial Estate              -          Tarmac work will commence tomorrow as well as long the B6525, 135 linear metres. The manhole will be installed and we can break into the existing one for connection and we will continue with the pipe work again along the B6525 and the traffic lights have and will continue to move along accordingly.

A massive amount of progress over these last two weeks and I have got to say the new Treatment Building looks impressive.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding whilst we have the traffic lights on, we do appreciate it. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have.
