Northumbrian Water is investing almost £6.5 million at a County Durham wastewater treatment works to help to improve water quality in the area.
The water company is extending and upgrading the treatment works at Kelloe in County Durham, which will deliver benefits for the Coxhoe Beck, as well as other watercourses downstream.
The work, which will be carried out by Northumbrian Water’s partner Esh-Stantec, is due to start in October, and is expected to take 20 months to complete.
The work at Kelloe is in addition to an £11 million investment in upgrades to the company’s network and sites in and around the nearby Pittington and Sherburn areas. Work started on this project in August and will result in improvements to water quality in the Coalford and Sherburn Becks and watercourses they flow into.
Northumbrian Water’s Project Manager, Dean Thompson, said:
“The upgrades at Kelloe represent another significant investment in delivering resilient services for this part of County Durham and improved water quality for the local becks, streams and ultimately the River Wear.”
