Action scheduled
Open to contamination, this collect is the source of our private water supply.
Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8495712.
The concrete blocks covering this field drain are not sufficient to prevent contamination from entering it. This drain takes water draining from collects, (also excess water from the roadside ditch). Water drains from this point, under the public highway to the corner of our property (photo attached), from where our water supply is drawn. It is important we ensure it is free from the risk of contamination. This issue has been brought to my attention by specialist water supply contractors, and is longstanding.
