Severn Trent Water is holding its latest public drop-in session today to give local residents in Newark the opportunity to learn more about their £60 million improvement plans.
The water company has begun work on the project which will see a large new tunnel installed beneath the town to help prevent sewer flooding at homes and businesses.
A major part of the £60 million scheme will see the construction of a tunnel underneath Newark to Severn Trent’s Crankley Point Sewage Treatment Works. Work is already underway to prepare a shaft for the tunnel.
Severn Trent’s programme manager, Tim Sawyer explained:
“We’ve been doing a lot of work with residents and businesses in Newark to make them aware of the work that we’re doing.”
"Hopefully by now everyone will know how vital this work is to help prevent sewer flooding and provide the town with a reliable water supply for the future.
“We’re holding this drop-in session so residents can come along and find out more about the upcoming work in their local area and how it may affect them. We’re also really keen to get their input – this is a massive project for us and Newark so it’s important we get it right for everyone.”
Severn Trent and their contract partners, BNM Alliance, will be available from 2pm – 7.30pm to talk to attendees.
Further drop-in sessions will be arranged in the future.
