Residents invited to learn more about £1.5m water improvement scheme in Hest Bank

Residents of Hest Bank have been invited to find out more about £1.5m plans to improve the quality of water in their village.

Water company United Utilities is planning to install a new underground storm water storage tank at Hest Bank Pumping Station.

They said this will give the area’s sewer system additional capacity during times of heavy rainfall, and help to further improve water quality in nearby Hatlex Beck by reducing the frequency of storm overflows.

Members of the public can find out more at a drop-in session being held from 3pm to 7pm on Monday September 11 at The Shore Café, The Shore, Hest Bank, LA2 6HW.

The upgrade is part of a £1.5bn region-wide investment programme which will reduce the frequency of storm overflow operations across the region.
