A GROUP of Ulverston scouts help prepare for a huge engineering project in the town.
The cubs section of the second Ulverston Scouts were treated to a guided walk along the route of a new pipeline being built to help clean up the beck in Priory Road.
The visit, arranged by water firm United Utilities and its contract partner C2V+, was topped off with a joint £500 donation which will go towards the group’s running costs.
United Utilities’ new pipeline is part of a project to help improve the quality of water in Dragley Beck, the Leven Estuary and the shellfish waters of Morecambe Bay.
It will connect the town’s sewers to a huge new storm water storage tank, which will hold up to 3,000 cubic metres of dirty rain water during intense storms.
United Utilities’ assistant project co-ordinator, Luke Johnston, said:
“One of the pipeline connection points was in land behind the scout hut so workers wanted to explain what was happening.”
