Pipelaying on Northumbrian Water’s £155 million upgrades to its water network reaches a key milestone later this month.
To enable the pipeline to connect with Lartington Water Treatment Works, pipelaying will take place next to the water production site from Tuesday, May 28, requiring a temporary closure of the B6277 outside the works.
Northumbrian Water’s Project Pipeline: County Durham and Tees Valley will see a total of 57km of new water mains laid from Lartington to Gainford, and across to Shildon and Long Newton, securing reliable and resilient water supplies for around 200,000 customers.
Northumbrian Water’s partner, Farrans Construction is carrying out the work.
Phil Thornberry, Water Asset Manager at Northumbrian Water, said:
“This crossing represents a key part of this essential project, allowing us to connect to Lartington Water Treatment Works – the source of the water that will be fed through the pipeline to around 200,000 customers across County Durham and the Tees Valley.”
