Hastings
We’re investing £9.3 million across a number of sites in Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea, to improve the sewage network and the way it operates. This will improve water quality in the area.
Our latest newsletter has lots of information about our work on misconnections, bathing water quality testing and improvements we are making to our pumping stations. You can also find out more about the sewer relining work that will be starting later in 2023.
Keeping you updated
Our next newsletter will be circulated in September but in the meantime if you have and questions you Contact Us to get in touch or phone us on 0330 303 0368.
Pelham Pipe, Denmark Place
The Pelham Pipe was modified in 2017 but further changes are now needed. We’re carrying out repair work on the pipe, at a cost of around £1.3 million, and this was finished at the end of April 2023.
Amsterdam Way to Cinque Ports Way
There have been several bursts along the main sewer in this area which has caused damage and distress to people and the environment.
Other areas of investment
Galley Hill Pumping Station
Following spills from Galley Hill Wastewater Pumping Station, in August and December 2022, we have:
- Installed a new auto changeover system to increase resilience to our electrical supply to keep our pumps running
- Replaced one of our storm pumps
- Begun refurbishing the odour control system for the site
- Modified the control philosophy of our pumps to keep flows going if one of the pumps failed due to blockages etc.
Rock-a-Nore Pumping Station Refurbishment
We’ll be refurbishing our pumping station at Rock-a-Nore. We’re in the process of finalising the detail but work is likely to include replacing the control centre and pumps after repair work has been carried out on the roof later this year.
