Great to be on site with colleagues and supply chain at Thorpe Hesley, Yorkshire to see early stages of construction of @MiningRemAuth mine water treatment scheme. The scheme will protect drinking water for 2400 people and treat up to 2.36 billion litres of mine water each year

A key milestone has been reached in one of the UK’s first large-scale mine water heat projects, with work now underway. We’re working with a number of organisations to deliver the project, which will ultimately see mine water used to heat homes on a new sustainable community, near #Seaham. We’ve teamed up with the @MiningRemAuth and @KarbonHomes, to heat 750 affordable homes on the Seaham Garden Village development. The ultra-low carbon district heat network has thus far received more than £4m in government funding. All legal and land agreements were recently completed, including the appointment of @VitalEnergi to design, build and operate the ultra-low carbon district heat network that will heat half of the homes on the new garden village. With the agreements in place, Vital has begun work to construct the energy centre, which will take heat to those homes. Cllr Mark Wilkes, our Cabinet member for neighbourhoods and climate change, said: “We are delighted to have started work on what will be the UK’s first large-scale mine water heat project using a mine water treatment scheme, right here in County Durham. “This innovative project will have significant environmental benefits – making use of currently untapped heat to keep houses warm, and, in doing so, avoiding the need to use non-renewable sources of energy. “The affordable properties will also provide a welcome boost to County Durham residents looking to get on the housing ladder; while the prospect of more homes, a school and innovation hubs in the future will, we hope, attract people looking for somewhere to live, families and those seeking work.”

To protect and improve watercourses our officers not only carry out water company and agricultural inspections, they also inspect mine water treatment plants. Mine water is treated by the Mining Remediation Authority to protect water for drinking water, agriculture and industry.

Re-use of the UK's coal mine water resource is increasing in scale. Read our paper to understand how we can demonstrate early insights into measuring & monitoring heat-flow processes to provide an evidence base for UK geothermal research. chooser.crossref.org/?doi=10… @CoalAuthority

The @CoalAuthority have been responsible for dealing with the legacy of coal workings for four decades. Great to visit to see their archives and hear about the different methods they use to treat contaminated water from mines - helping to keep our water clean.

The @CoalAuthority Board Board visited the underground drainage tunnel at Aberfan Tip which we own, inspect & maintain. Water management is essential to tip safety. At no other tip are you more acutely aware of the importance of managing these sites effectively in perpetuity.
