We are proud to provide a sustainable, affordable, clean and safe water supply and to manage and treat the waste water returned to us in a way that protects the environment.
We have an arrangement with Northumbrian Roads to collect and recycle the excavated materials produced by our repair and maintenance works. Where recycling bays exist Northumbrian Roads collect, recycle and return the material in a form that is then utilised for backfill and pipe bedding requirements. The materials are subject to independent assessment and it is our policy to use recycled materials wherever possible.
The ongoing project has proven such a success we are expanding the use of the scheme to other sites within the business.
