The rain last Friday (27-09-2019) was the most recent challenge for the team. In some areas there was a significant
amount of surface water coming from upstream of our works, passing though parts of the site. UU are waiting for data
from the Met. Office of how much rain fell in that period. UU usually gets that information from the on-site weather
station but it seems the levels were beyond the upper limit of the equipment implying that it was around a 1-in-10-year
storm event.
UU continues to have a 24-hour rota in place so that the team can be on top of these events as much as possible. In
periods where the rain lets off, they are working to help reduce the levels of the surface water held in the lagoons to
maximise the retention capacity for future heavy rain. Over the weekend the team also did some work clearing drains
on Fairthorns Road to help with water moving away from site and prevent flooding
With respect to construction, UU are still transporting pipes to the compound near the motorway bridge and down to
the working areas through the road closure on Fairthorns Road. About 400 pipes and fittings are now in place.
In order to install the pipes across Reservoir and Millrigg Roads further road closures are needed additional to that on
Fairthorns Road. UU originally scheduled the next one to be in October but are now looking for this to be sometime
after Christmas. UU will write to local residents with an exact date closer to the time.
Please pass on any questions or comments, either by email or phone on 07867 902223.
