Saltmoor Pump Deployment Exercise Update

Following a successful pump deployment exercise at Saltmoor Pumping Station, we will be removing equipment from site on Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 November.

These exercises help our staff and contractors practice the complex process of installing high volume pumps, so we can act quickly, safely and effectively when needed. Temporary pipes installed as part of the exercise will remain in place, in case they are needed to respond if severe flooding occurs this winter.

There will be activity on site during this time, but the road will remain open.
