When you’ve finished hunting for Easter eggs this weekend how about seeking out sewage pumps!

Yorkshire Water is calling on customers across Huddersfield to help hunt for sewage pumping stations hidden throughout the town.

The firm has the task of locating hundreds of private sewage pumping stations across Yorkshire – because from October 1 Yorkshire Water will be responsible for looking after them under Government regulations.

To date 350 have been found – including nine in Huddersfield – but more are yet to be identified.

Each customer who finds a previously undiscovered and eligible pumping station and lets Yorkshire Water know about it before April 16 will be sent an Easter Egg as a token of gratitude from the company.

Dave Wilson, transfer manager at Yorkshire Water, said: “The sewage pumping stations literally could be anywhere – in a customer’s garden, on public land next to a house or business or just on the side of the road. Many are located in private gardens and areas where we do not normally enter which is why we need help from customers to find them.

“What people need to look out for are steel access covers and/or a kiosk, usually green, which contains the electrical control equipment for the pumps.

“It is really important that we find these remaining stations now so we can survey them and make sure they are in full working order before we take ownership of them. That is why we’re asking for customers in Huddersfield to help us find them and let us know straight away.

“We will give an Easter egg as a little present to each customer who helps us find a previously undiscovered and eligible pumping station before April 16, 2016.”
