Yorkshire Water begin the first phase of construction today Monday 6 July, to upgrade parts of their sewer network beneath Hagg Lane. This work includes building a new underground storage tank in Carver Fields, off Hagg Lane in Crosspool.
The aim is to increase capacity in the system and help create a cleaner, healthier River Rivelin by reducing storm‑related discharges.
Further details about the project, including how they are protecting local wildlife and how noise and vibration will be monitored – can be found on their website at:

You can also scan the QR code for direct access. The onsite team will provide updates as construction progresses, along with information on how the field will be restored once the work is complete.
To keep everyone safe during these essential works, Hagg Lane will be temporarily closed between Thursday 20 August and Tuesday 29 September.
Access to the Hagg Lane allotment entrance will be limited for around three weeks during this period while work takes place directly in front of the gate. The alternative entrance on Back Lane will remain open throughout.
Normal working hours will be 7:00am to 7:00pm, Monday to Friday, to ensure the project is completed as quickly and safely as possible. Occasionally, the team may need to work slightly later; they will always try to let residents know in advance if any out‑of‑hours work is required.
Yorkshire Water will not need access to your home at any point during this project. As always, please remember to ask for identification before allowing anyone into your property.
