A new £5 million project is set to help protect water quality in Northumberland - the investment by Northumbrian Water will see upgrades made to Slaley Sewage Treatment Works, south of Slaley Village.
This will not only ensure the reliability and resilience of the treatment service the site provides, but also protect and help improve water quality in Reeston and March Burn, and water courses downstream.
