Project Overview

We are taking care of the water services in your community by investing £900,000 to upgrade the water mains to ensure you continue to enjoy clear, fresh drinking water, and reduce the chance of pipes bursting.

The work will begin on Monday 26th August, and is expected to last approximately 24 weeks.

Roadworks will be in place in various phases as the project progresses, which will include the use of temporary traffic lights, road closures, and some access and parking restrictions.
