Latest Update -July 2026
We are pleased to confirm that all of the new pipework for this project has now been installed and connected. The water supply was fully in service by the end of March and has been operating as normal since then.
The remaining work is minor and includes final checks, tidying up the site and completing some reinstatement works. We also need to carry out commissioning of flow meters, but this work will not affect customers’ water supplies and will be completed by mid July.
We'd like to thank customers for their continued patience throughout the duration of this essential project.
