Felton Environmental Improvements

Project Overview

At Northumbrian Water, We’re investing £25m in Felton to improve water quality in the River Coquet.

This long term project of work aims to reduce the frequency of storm overflows entering local watercourses, helping to improve water quality while creating a more reliable wastewater network for local communities.

The project will include a mix of improvements that help manage rainfall more effectively, reduce the amount of surface water entering the sewer network, and increase the network's capacity during periods of heavy rain.

We'll continue to keep customers updated as the project progresses and more information becomes available.
