Lanchester Sewage Treatment Works

As part of the Water Industry National Environmental Programme (WINEP), we will be installing chemical dosing plant (ferric sulphate and sodium hydroxide) and a new tertiary treatment stage to enable the site to meet the forthcoming phosphorous discharge consent. The improvement works will cost around £6.4m, and it’s one of 27 sites within the NWG region to receive this upgrade. Phosphorous is a nutrient and can cause algae to grow in watercourses, reducing biodiversity and river water quality.

Start Date: August 2023

Estimated End Date: September 2025

Partner: Northumbrian Water

Investment Value: £6.4 million

Go Vocal Admin1 year ago Hi everyone, I’m pleased to share that we are now approaching the final stages of the upgrade to the Lanchester Sewage Treatment Works.You may have noticed increased activity over the past few weeks, as our Site Team carries out the remaining works and begins demobilisation of the site. All activity will continue to take place within our site boundary, and while I do not anticipate any disruption, you may experience a slight increase in noise levels and site traffic during this time.If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.Thank you once again for your continued patience and cooperation as we complete this essential work.Best regards,Bethany

Go Vocal Admin1 year ago Good morning,I hope you are well and enjoying the week.I thought I’d update you on how the Project is looking currently. The second of the last two pipes lines has just been installed (Manhole 25 to Manhole 28) and then we'll do the NSAF recirculation line from the NSAF to the inlet chamber. Once this has been carried out, we will begin the tidying up and complete the landscaping.If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Project, please don’t hesitate to add a comment and a member of the Project Team will respond accordingly.Take care and speak soon,Bethany
