United Utilities invites Haslingden residents to learn about HARP project progress in June

en.Wedoany.com Reported - United Utilities is advancing the Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP) and inviting residents in the Haslingden area to learn about the latest project developments.

The Haweswater Aqueduct, 110 kilometres long, conveys water from Cumbria to 2.5 million customers and businesses in Lancashire and Greater Manchester. This 70-year-old pipeline, which relies on gravity to deliver 570 million litres of water per day, is currently undergoing refurbishment works.

As the delivery partner for the HARP project, Cascade Infrastructure will begin replacing six tunnel sections of the pipeline later this year. In Haslingden, this will involve establishing a construction zone, with works expected to run from late July to December.

Matt Postlethwaite, HARP Project Engagement Lead at United Utilities, stated that HARP is one of the largest water infrastructure projects in the UK, which, in addition to securing water supply for millions of users, will create hundreds of local jobs. He emphasised that the works in Haslingden represent the first phase of the project, and keeping communities along the route informed is crucial for both United Utilities and its delivery partner, Cascade Infrastructure. Therefore, local residents are invited to meet the team and obtain further information.

Two information sessions are scheduled for June: Tuesday 9 June, 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, in the upper foyer of Tesco on Syke Street (postcode BB4 6LY); and Wednesday 17 June, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at Haslingden Cricket Club, Bentgate Cricket Ground (postcode BB4 6LX).
