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.
We are working with our supply partner Mott Macdonald Bentley to carry out £500,000 of investment work. This work will involve replacing the sewer within the woodland and extending the culverted watercourse providing stability to the banks of pelaw wood beck.
LOOKING AFTER THE ENVIRONMENT AND REDUCING THE RISK OF POLLUTION TO WATERCOURSES IS ONE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES. AS PART OF THIS COMMITMENT, AND TO HELP MAKE DURHAM A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND VISIT, WE PLAN TO INVEST WITHIN THE SEWERAGE NETWORK TO UPGRADE OUT EXISTING ASSETS.
We are planning to start construction work in November 2016 and anticipate the work will take up to four months to complete. This project will improve the performance of our sewer network in Pelaw Wood. Our partner, MMB (Mott MacDonald Bentley) will be carrying out this work on our behalf.
We will share further information about our plans with you as soon as we have finalised our approach.
We invest hundreds of millions of pounds every year to maintain and upgrade our water and sewer networks so we can make sure we provide you with a top quality product and safeguard our water and environment well into the future. We recognise that, with construction work, noise and traffic disruption is difficult to avoid. Please be assured that we will do our best to reduce any inconvenience to you.
