As part of the Better Boating Plan, the Wheaton Aston Customer Service Facility pump out will be temporarily closed to allow essential replacement works to take place from Monday 19 October to Wednesday 21 October.

The existing pump has become obsolete and is being replaced with a new pump unit by our contractors.

The nearest alternative pump-out facilities are:

  • Norbury Junction

  • Autherley Junction

    We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while these improvements are carried out.
