More than £1 million is being invested in water mains upgrades in Stockton on Tees, to provide reliable and resilient water supplies and protect drinking water quality for more than 8,000 customers.

The £1.1 million investment by Northumbrian Water will see 3km of pipes replaced from High Leven to the east end of Yarm.
The work will largely take place during the summer holidays, beginning on 26th June 2024. at Low Leven Bridge working west along the A1044 for up to sixteen weeks.
The upgrades will be carried out by Northumbrian Water’s delivery partner, United Living.
The team has been working closely with Stockton on Tees Borough Council in the planning of the work and will be operating closely in line with the authority’s permits.
Northumbrian Water’s Project Manager, Kari Campbell, said:
“This investment will protect water supplies for customers in the area for years to come, supporting growth and development, and renewing the pipes will also reduce the chances of bursts that can cause disruption to supplies.”
Craig Nienaber, Business Development Manager for Safe Access Solutions (SAS) at HUBER Technology, explores why the company is seeing a growing level of interest in its safe access solutions for critical infrastructure providers, including their application in wastewater treatment assets.
