Pumping station news

A question arose at the recent AGM about the operational status of the new pumping station.

 

The pumping station is operational but relies on using a mobile generator at present.  The Environment Agency is gradually resolving land-ownership issues which, when sorted out, will allow them to make the mains electricity connection to the pumping station.

 

The remaining metal screens around the substation area will be removed when the mains connection works at the substation are complete.  When EON has finished installing the substation and mains electricity, shrubbery will be planted to screen the installation.

 

With many thanks to Innes Thomson, Area Flood Risk Manager at the Environment Agency for this information
