Yorkshire Water has set out its plans for a £17 million upgrade and modernisation at its Irton water treatment works.
The Irton works supplies between 15 and 23 million litres of drinking water on a daily basis from an onsite borehole to customers and businesses in and around Scarborough.
The plans cover the installation of new processes to enable the works to meet strict water quality standards, including:
- A pesticide removal plant
- Six tanks to be built offsite
- Granular activated carbon tanks to be built offsite
The 10 x 7m high granular activated carbon tanks, which remove organic constituents and impurities from the water using chemical absorption, will be built offsite and transported to Irton.
Yorkshire Water project manager Jane Armstrong commented:
“The investment at Irton will ensure we continue to supply the best possible drinking water to our customers. We hope to finish the construction phase by the end of this year.”
Morgan Sindall Sweco will design, manage and construct the project. Construction will then be followed by the commissioning period which will be completed by summer 2018.
