United Utilities is inviting residents in Cheadle to a consultation event on 29th April at Cheadle Golf Club to find out more about upcoming work at Brookfields Park.
The water company is planning an engineering scheme to reduce the risk of storm water overflowing into local watercourses – improving the water quality in Micker Brook and subsequently the River Mersey.
To do this, United Utilities is building a new underground storage tank and installing pipework to connect with the existing infrastructure within Brookfields Park, near to Life Leisure Cheadle.
The new storm tank will hold 500,000 litres and help reduce the number of times the storm overflow operates during periods of heavy rainfall.
Delivery Manager, Joanne Coote said:
‘This work is part of our regional Better Rivers strategy and proposed £1.5 billion investment across the North West. Work is expected to start on site in June 2024 and will continue until Summer 2025 during which there will be temporary changes for access, car parking and local footpaths."
A team from United Utilities will also be available at the event to talk through and answer any questions.
The work at Cheadle forms part of United Utilities’ investment programme to bring a massive reduction in sewer pollution entering the region’s waterways. Work has already started at some of the highest priority sites and by 2030 the company has proposed to invest £3 billion to improve more than 430 storm overflows across the region.
