GENERAL PROJECT

Wellfield Rising Main

Looking after the environment and reducing the risk of pollution are two of our top priorities. As part of this commitment, and to help make Wellfield a great place to live, work and visit, we plan to invest within the sewerage network to upgrade our existing assets.

Update by Gabrielle Ward

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick update on what to expect over the upcoming weeks.

The next stage of our work is due to take place around Wednesday 25th August along Edderacres Walk footpath, and will take up to four weeks to complete.

We would like to make you aware that there will be two excavations either end of Edderacres walk, with the pipework fabricated above ground, along the length of the footpath. The pipework will be installed week commencing Monday 6th September by our contractor. I have added a plan below which includes our working area location.

Access along Edderacres Walk footpath will still be maintained, however if you are walking near our working area, we politely ask you to be extra vigilant and stay safe. Our working hours will be between 8am and 4pm Monday – Friday. During these hours, you may notice a slight increase in noise due to the nature of our work.

Our site team will be happy to help should you require any assistance. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below or visit the "contact" link at the top of the page. 

On behalf of the project team, we would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your continued patience and support during this essential work. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Gaby
