Final stage of water project
A £500,000 scheme to improve the waste water treatment plant at Goathland, on the North York Moors, is in its final stage. The Yorkshire Water project, which is expected to take six weeks to complete, involves demolishing the pumping station and building a new facility on the same site.
Project manager Marvyn Waller said: "The improvement work will mean the effluent discharging into the river will be treated to a much higher standard than before, making it further exceed the urban waste water treatment directive standards set by the Environment Agency."
