Yorkshire Water has completed the installation of a new £1.7 million water main to improve the resilience of its network in Catterick and the delivery of potable water to customers.
Working with partner Morrison Water Services, the scheme saw 6.5km mains installed through rural land, using a horizontal drilling technique to ensure that surface disturbance on farmland was kept minimal and carbon savings were achieved.
The installation of the new water main is part of a wider scheme to improve the resilience of the water network in Catterick.
In May this year, a new service reservoir will also be developed at Hunton New Road, which will see new twin compartment tanks with drinking water storage developed, to support future water supply demand in the area.
Alex Spivey, project manager for Yorkshire Water said: “The investment we’re making in Catterick will ensure that the water network is able to continue supplying our customers’ homes for years to come. The 6.5km of new pipework will go a long way in building the resilience of the network and meet customer demands.”
“With new housing developments underway in Catterick, the new service reservoir will reduce the risk of interruption of supply as it will support the existing Gandale service reservoir and create a more effective network.”
