Northumbrian Water is progressing its multi million pound investments in water quality improvements, including the completion of site enhancement works at its sewage treatment works (STW) at Bishopton.
The £1.3 million work to improve the treatment of wastewater will support water quality improvements and protect local watercourses at Bishopton.
Along with other recently completed projects, this is part of a wider £17 million investment by Northumbrian Water to protect water quality in local watercourses in the south of County Durham, and in the Stockton and Darlington boroughs.
The company has also invested in upgrades at its sites at Bishop Middleham Sewage Treatment Works (STW), Chilton Lane STW, near Ferryhill, Fishburn STW and at Sedgefield STW and at Carlton and Redmarshall STW in Stockton.
The work at Bishopton has been carried out by Northumbrian Water’s partner, Mott MacDonald Bentley (MMB).
The works will improve the resilience of the site and work towards delivering environmental benefits in the local area, protecting and helping to improve water quality in the Bishopton Beck and watercourses downstream.
Northumbrian Water’s Project Manager, Jamie Oyebade, said:
“This work has been part of a wider investment in the area to improve water quality in local rivers and streams through upgrades to STWs. The team have worked hard to install the new systems at Bishopton which will also improve water quality at Bishopton Beck.“
