Update 11 September 2025, 1:41pm
Contractors attended the site and cleared the blockage. However, the pumpout remains not working as there is a significant fault with the sub chambers which are unable to hold the contents of the pumpout. It is in discussion what is the next stage for the pumpout. We will update the notice when there is more information available regarding the decision that is to be made. The closest pumpout is at Stanley Ferry.
Update 4 September 2025, 1:44pm
We have the Tuesday 9th September as the agreed date for a joint visit to occur with both parties to Castleford Pumpout to resolve the issue that is currently preventing the pumpout from working. We will update the notice, when we receive further information after the 9th September 2025.
Update 4 September 2025, 10:48am
We are still establishing a joint visit between the 2 contractors as the issues appear to be more complicated than originally perceived. As soon as we receive any further updates we will update the notice.
Update 22 August 2025, 3:36pm
Unfortunately, the joint visit today were unable to resolve the issue. The chamber was drained to a level that it was established the pump is working and sat correctly. The tanker had a limited capacity so the full contents of the chamber was unable to be completely emptied as wished. It also appears that there may be other issues as to why the pump is not working which need to be investigate further.
We will need another joint visit from both contractors in the near future. We will update the notice when we have further information. The next closest pumpout available is at Stanley Ferry.
Original 20 August 2025, 3:07pm
A joint visit will be occurring on Friday 22nd August with both contractors attending site at Castleford Pumpout to clear the chambers and resolve the issue. We will update the notice with further information when it is fixed and operational.
