Hathersage to Worksop Pipeline
Nottinghamshire
We’re investing in the future
As part of our commitment to future proofing our water network to ensure it can meet the challenges of climate change and population growth, Severn Trent is investing £80million in a new pipeline in between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
The 43km pipeline will transfer water from the Derwent Valley Aqueduct, near Hathersage, to Lowtown booster station, at Worksop, and from there to the local network.
The work will be carried out in two phases, with the first – from Worksop to Renishaw – planned to start in May 2026.
Before construction can start, teams will be doing early preparatory work in the area to check ground conditions.
In between now and October, our contractors Avove and Geotechnics will be carrying out geological surveys at various locations in private land between Renishaw and Owler Bar. At the same time our contractors ADAS and Ramms Sanderson will be checking for any archaeological or environmental factors that may affect the proposed pipeline route.
