What will the improvement work at Audlem involve?
Our plans to improve the site included building new tanks and associated treatment control equipment. The site boundary expanded to accommodate the new structures. The detailed site layout provides information about our plans.
A new underground sewer pipeline has been installed along part of Woore Road to transfer flows through to Audlem Wastewater Treatment Works. Details of the pipeline route are available here.
The final plans include tree and shrub landscaping. The work will be done in two phases, with the first phase being the tree work, which should be completed by November 2024. Following this, the shrubs and seeding will be completed by early spring 2025.
We understand that construction work can be inconvenient, and our teams will make sure we keep the communities around both of our sites updated as our work progresses.
Construction activity: Our normal working hours are Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm. You will have noticed an increase in construction related vehicles and we use machinery that generates some noise. Our site team are doing all they can to keep this to a minimum.
Wash, flush…carry on as normal: Don’t worry, you will still be able to use all your existing appliances or facilities that take away the used water from your home or business just as you usually would while the work is carried out.
- Construction work on both sites and the new sewer pipeline is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
