Coombe Lane Pumping Station
To help us protect your water supply during dry weather conditions, we are building a new pumping station in the field at the junction of Coombe Lane and Porsham Lane, Tamerton Foliot.
This work is essential to ensure our water and wastewater services are resilient and that we deliver your water supply as efficiently as possible. As an essential service provider, looking after our customers and employees is our top priority and we will continue to follow Government and NHS advice surrounding Coronavirus to make sure safety is paramount.
The new pumping station, along with the existing pumping station at Lopwell Dam, will transfer water from the River Tavy to the new Mayflower Water Treatment Works at Roborough as needed, making it more resilient to drought. This will ensure we continue to provide you with a clean, safe and reliable supply of drinking water now and into the future.
Mayflower – which also has the River Tamar and Burrator Reservoir as sources – will provide Plymouth homes, businesses and the surrounding area with top-quality drinking water for years to come. It will replace the existing Crownhill Water Treatment when it becomes fully operational.

As part of a local community project we have installed a bench in the park on Church Row Lane. The bench was bought with money raised locally and we were pleased to volunteer to lay the concrete base, build and secure the bench, generally tidy up the area and repair the path to provide wheelchair access.
