Elbury Hill Reservoir

Welcome to Outwoods Reservoir Community Portal.

South Staffs Water has two storage reservoirs on the Outwoods site one of which has been taken out of service.

It was decided to build a new reservoir on the site adjacent to reservoir no2. The reservoir will be constructed from reinforced concrete and will be partially buried. The exposed part of the new reservoir will have earth embankments to hide the concrete similar to the other reservoirs on the site.

Stonbury Ltd have been awarded the contract to construct the new storage reservoirs and mobilised to site on the 9^th March. The construction period will be complete by winter 2017. It is our intention to have part of the reservoir constructed and in service by the 30^th June 2017.

The site will be supervised by myself Barry Chapman, the Stonbury Project Manager. I will be on site most of the week so if there are any questions or problems please contact me on 07733 122722 or via the Community Portal. We welcome your feedback so please add your comments to the portal updates during the construction period.

We appreciate there is a lot going on in Reservoir Road at present with the new housing  site at the top of the road and the excavation outside our site being carried out by Western Power so we don’t want to add to that anymore than we have to. We have created a car park on site to ensure we get all our vehicles and South Staffs Water vehicles off Reservoir Road. We have had a few of the residents raise concerns about our delivery vehicles which we will address. As you can imagine the start of a large contract is very hectic trying to get all the large machinery and our welfare cabins delivered. We have now told all our suppliers not to deliver before 9.30am and not between 14.30 and 15.30 (we have now adjusted this to ensure no deliveries are made between 3 & 4pm).

There will be a further delivery on Tuesday 14^th when the remaining welfare cabins will be delivered. The supplier has been asked to stagger the deliveries over the day to avoid congestion. 

We will be installing a wheel wash for all vehicles delivering to site to avoid any mud being dropped on reservoir road. This will be monitored throughout the contract.

We will provide regular updates with pictures and videos to the Community Portal throughout the contract so please log in to keep updated with our progress.

Thanks, Barry
