Dulverton Sewage Works - Update
For many years Dulverton Town Council has repeatedly asked for improvements to be made to the Dulverton Sewage works, situated in Millhams Lane, due to the extremely bad odours arising from the site which affect the whole Town. Furthermore Members of the Council have been concerned that the existing facilities will become less able to cope with the ever increasing amount of housing that has been built over the past few years.
We are therefore pleased to announce that South West Water, who are responsible for the disposal of sewage in Dulverton, now have the necessary funding available to upgrade the Works, which they propose to undertake over the next twelve months, starting in March 2012.
It has been agreed with Dulverton Town Council that in order to access the site with large equipment and holding tanks, a temporary access road will be laid, across Barnsclose playground, (behind the goal posts), through the hedge, across the adjoining field to the end of Millhams Lane and into a site close to the existing Sewage Works. Hard-core will be laid and the hedge removed. A secure 2 metre high fence will be erected for safety purposes, restricting public access.
It is anticipated that the temporary road will have limited use and be strictly supervised by South West Water.
On completion of the work the ground will be re-turfed, the hedge replaced by South West Water who will meet all the costs involved. The field will be laid with tracking plates due to the very soft ground.
Work is due to commence soon, but it is not anticipated that heavy machinery will be on site until the summer.
